WataaHydration alarm for Android
Drink. Water. Now.
Every other reminder app sends a notification you swipe away without reading. Wataa rings like an actual alarm, and the only way to stop it is to hold a glass on screen until it fills. By the time it's quiet, you've already had the water.
Free on Google Play, with no accounts, no ads and no subscriptions.
What makes it work
A reminder you can ignore isn't a reminder.
Wataa is built like an alarm clock, not a to-do app. That single decision is what changes the outcome.
Hold to pour
No snooze-by-reflex. You press and hold a glass until it fills, and let go early and it drains. The gesture takes a few seconds, which is exactly long enough to pick up a real glass.
A real alarm
Exact alarms, full screen, over the lock screen, at maximum alarm volume. It behaves like your morning alarm because that is the only kind of reminder people actually answer.
Your call on noise
Sound and vibration, sound only, or vibrate only. In a meeting, vibrate-only leaves the volume untouched and still gets you up.
Interrupts on purpose
Turn on "Notify over other apps" and a ringing alarm takes the screen even mid-video. It is off by default, because that level of rudeness should be something you ask for.
Knows when it's hot
Optional smart alerts check the heat index where you are and change the alarm's message when the weather turns dangerous. Off until you switch it on.
Streaks worth keeping
Cups today, current and best streak, the share of alarms you beat and your fastest pour, plus a seven-day chart. Enough to make you competitive with yourself.
Three minutes to set up
How it works
Set your goal
Answer three questions and the calculator suggests a daily target, or type your own. Cup size is yours to pick too.
Choose your hours
A start time, an end time and an interval. Wataa fills in the schedule and never rings outside your window.
Answer the alarm
When it rings, hold the glass until it's full. The glass is logged, the streak survives, and the next one is already set.
A look inside
Loud where it counts, quiet everywhere else.
Privacy
Your water log is nobody's business.
Wataa has no servers of its own. In practice that means:
- No account, no sign-in, no email required.
- No analytics, no advertising, no tracking libraries.
- Your goal, your schedule and every glass you log stay on your phone.
- Location is requested only if you switch smart alerts on, and is used only to ask Google's weather service how hot it is.
