Common questions
How do I set my daily goal?
Open the menu at the top left, tap Settings, then Daily goal. Use minus and plus, or pick a common goal, and tap Save. Choose ounces or milliliters under it. A new goal applies to today right away; past days keep the goal they had.
What's a good daily water goal?
It depends on your body, how active you are and the weather. Hydrate starts at 80 oz (or 2,500 mL), and you can change it any time. Hydrate isn't medical advice; if you're not sure what's right for you, ask your doctor.
How do I log a drink?
On Today, tap Glass, Can, Bottle or Large bottle. For any other amount, or a drink you forgot to log earlier, tap Another amount (or + at the top right), set the amount and time, and tap Log.
Can I change or delete a drink?
Yes. Tap a drink in Today's drinks to change its amount or time, or delete it; touch and hold a drink to delete it straight away. For an earlier day, open History from the menu, tap the day, and tap a drink.
How do streaks work?
Your streak counts the days in a row you reached your goal. Until you reach today's goal, your streak is at stake; miss a day and it starts again. History shows your personal best.
How do I set up reminders?
Open Settings and turn on Reminders, then choose how often (every one to four hours) and the hours they run between. Each reminder says what's left, and they stop for the day once you reach your goal. Tap Log 8 oz on a reminder to log a glass without opening the app.
Does Hydrate work with Apple Health?
Yes. Open Settings and tap Connect next to Apple Health, then Continue, and allow Water. Every drink you log is then saved to Apple Health as Water, and deleted there when you delete it in Hydrate. Hydrate doesn't read anything from Apple Health. If you said no earlier, open the Health app, tap your profile picture, then Apps, then Hydrate, and turn on Water.
Does Hydrate work on Apple Watch?
Yes. Install Hydrate on your watch from the Watch app on your iPhone (Available Apps). The watch app shows what's left today and logs a drink with one tap; tap Undo right after to take it back. Drinks logged on your watch reach your iPhone, even if it was out of reach for a while. You can also add Hydrate to your watch face as a complication.
How do I add widgets?
Touch and hold your Home Screen, tap Edit, then Add Widget, search for Hydrate, and pick a size. For the Lock Screen, touch and hold the Lock Screen, tap Customize, and add a Hydrate widget.
Can I change the colors or icon?
Open Settings, then Accent, and pick one of eight. Your accent marks your goal in the app and the widgets, and sets a matching app icon. Under Appearance, choose System, Light or Dark, and Graphite or Black for dark mode.
Is my data backed up?
Your Hydrate data is included in your iPhone backup (iCloud or computer), so restoring a backup brings your history with it. We don't have access to your data; it never leaves your devices.
