Crude push notifications that guilt you into drinking water. Tap I drank and he backs off. For now. Snooze him and he comes back meaner.
Coming soon to iPhone and Android.
REAL Notifications He Sends
Never the same line twice. Reload the page and you'll get three different ones.
Somewhere, a cactus is judging you. Drink up.
Your kidneys asked me to pass along a message. It was mostly swearing.
I didn't come out of this lamp to watch you dry out like a raisin.
2 wishes left
That's your wishes, friend.
The lamp's still full, he never repeats himself, and he only sends the rest to people with the app. Fair warning: they get ruder.
Snooze him. See what happens.
Every reminder has two buttons. I drank logs your glass without opening the app. Snooze brings him back later, and each snooze in a row makes him a little meaner.
He never sends you the same line twice.
Hydration check. Lie to me and I will know.
How much should you drink? Ask the Genie.
The app works out a daily number from your age, sex, weight and how active you are, then splits it across your reminders. Try it here.
It averages the National Academies' daily water guidance with a weight-based estimate. It's a rule of thumb, not medical advice. You can always set your own number in the app.
Every glass counts toward something.
Each glass you log moves you up the ranks, from a sad little Puddle all the way to Water Genie.
Build your own glass
Name it, size it, pick a shape and a color, give it a face. Then the button on every reminder says I drank a Gary, or whatever you called it.
Rope in your friends
Share an invite code, pick a buddy to keep a streak with, and send the Genie after anyone who's slacking.
Your buddy rubbed the lamp just to tell you to drink water. That's love.
The weekly board ranks everyone by how much of their own goal they hit, so the smallest person in the group can still win.
Streaks, wishes and gems
Hit your goal every day to build a streak. Seven days in a row earns a wish, and a wish covers a missed day for you. Miss your goal near bedtime and he'll let you know.
Your streak is on life support. The cure is a glass of water. Cheap cure.
Ways to earn gems
- Hit your daily goal+3
- Drink within 10 minutes of a reminder+1
- Get through a day with no snoozes+2
- You and your buddy both hit your goals+2 each
Spend them on new glass shapes and extra wishes.
Questions people ask
How many reminders will I get?
You choose, up to 16 a day. Space them evenly, or let him show up at random with a minimum gap between reminders. Set quiet hours and he stays in the lamp overnight.
Do I have to open the app to log a glass?
No. Tap I drank on the notification and it's logged. Open the app when you want to see your day, your streak or your rank.
How rude is he, really?
Crude, not vulgar. He teases, he guilt-trips, he brings up cacti. He doesn't swear, and he goes easier on younger users.
What happens when I snooze?
You pick the snooze length in settings: 15, 30, 45 or 60 minutes. He comes back with a new line that knows you snoozed, and he gets meaner each time you snooze in a row.
Where does my daily goal come from?
From your age, sex, weight and activity, the same way the calculator above works. You can drag it up or down in the app if you have your own number.
