A little water buddy for your Mac

A little sip.
A little company.

Your screen gets a new little friend. It hangs from the menu bar, empties while you work, and fills right back up the moment you drink.

  • 7-day free trial
  • macOS 14 or later
  • Then $9 a year
The SipBuddy bottle hanging from a strap on the Mac desktop, smiling, with a countdown to the next sip and a Had a sip button. Lives in your menu bar

For the water you drink at your desk.

Not a health tracker. Not a coach. A bottle that keeps you company while you work, and a journal that only ever holds the sips you confirmed yourself.

How it works

Three small things, done carefully.

The bottle reminds you on your own schedule, you log a sip in one tap, and it cheers you on when you fill back up.

  • It reminds you.

    Water-break nudges on your interval, with quiet hours so it never interrupts a call or a late night.

  • One tap logs a sip.

    Click the bottle or pick a size in the popover. Only a sip you confirm is written down — snoozing never counts.

  • It celebrates.

    The bottle fills back up, grins, and a little toast says nice one. Sounds are optional, and the whole thing can be muted.

  1. Hang the bottle on your Mac

    It lives in the menu bar and on the desktop, out of the way of your work.

  2. Say how often

    Pause it, snooze ten minutes, mute the sounds, or set quiet hours. A snooze never writes a sip.

  3. Confirm a sip. See the smile.

    Choose a glass, a bottle or your own amount. The journal is written on this Mac and stays there.

A look inside

Real screens, straight from the app.

No mock-ups. These are actual captures of SipBuddy running on macOS in dark mode.

The SipBuddy menu-bar popover: log a sip, pick water, coffee or tea, today's progress, reminders and journal.
The whole thing in one little panel Log a sip, switch drinks, check today, snooze or open the journal — all from the menu bar.
The SipBuddy journal window showing today's total in a ring, a last-seven-days chart, and an editable list of drinks.
Your sip story, kept on your Mac Today at a glance, the last seven days, and every drink you can edit, undo, backdate or export.
SipBuddy reminder settings: how often to nudge, how pushy, an optional daily target, and sound controls.
Nudges on your own terms Set the interval, how insistent it is, an optional round daily target, and the sounds — never anything based on your body.

A little cheer, then out of your way Every sip gets a quiet celebration you can undo — no streak-guilt, no nagging.

FAQ

Questions.

No. SipBuddy is a reminder and a journal you fill in yourself. It does not measure your body, diagnose anything, or tell you how much water you need.
