Realwater

Realwater is a water-intake tracking app for iPhone and Android that logs drinks with one tap, visualizes progress in a filling sphere, and uses configurable reminders. It is designed for people who want a simple way to build and review a daily drinking routine without creating an account.

Realwater

Water tracking built around a visual daily goal

Realwater is a water-intake tracking app for iPhone and Android. It reduces logging to a tap: choose a quick-add amount for a glass, bottle, or mug, and a visual sphere fills as the recorded total moves toward a daily goal.

During setup, the app asks for weight, activity level, and climate to suggest a litre target. You can set a wake window and reminder interval, then use the app to record water, coffee, or tea, review drinking patterns, and maintain a streak without creating an account or entering an email address.

Core features

One-tap drink logging

Log a usual glass, bottle, or mug with a quick-add chip; the visual sphere updates immediately.

Scheduled reminders

Set a wake window and reminder interval. Notifications quiet down during sleep and are skipped when a recent drink has already been logged.

Streaks and trends

Review weekly and monthly charts against your goal line, including the times of day when you tend to drink.

Beverage-specific hydration

Coffee and tea entries use their own hydration values, so beverage type affects the recorded daily total.

Adaptive goals

The suggested daily litre goal uses weight, activity level, and climate, and can be overridden when needed.

Visual customization

Change the water colour, sphere, goal ring, and app icon. The site lists these customization options among Premium features.

Practical uses

  • Building a consistent drinking routine

    Set a target from personal inputs and use the filling sphere as a quick visual check of progress during the day.

  • People who forget to drink

    Choose active hours and an interval so reminders fit around waking hours, while the app avoids nudging during sleep or immediately after a logged drink.

  • Tracking mixed beverages

    Record coffee and tea alongside water when you want a broader view of daily hydration rather than counting water alone.

  • Reviewing drinking patterns

    Use weekly and monthly charts to compare intake with the goal line and identify the times of day when drinking tends to drop off.

  • Managing a personal target

    Override the suggested litre goal when your preferred target differs from the estimate based on weight, activity, and climate.

FAQ

Which platforms does Realwater support?

Realwater is available on iPhone and Android. The site does not specify supported operating-system versions.

How is Realwater set up?

You can start without an account or email. On day one, enter your weight, activity level, and climate, then set a wake window and reminder interval. You can override the suggested daily litre goal.

How do I log a drink?

Tap a quick-add option for a usual glass, bottle, or mug when you drink. The sphere level rises, the goal ring progresses, and the entry contributes to your daily total.

How do the reminders work?

You choose active hours and an interval for nudges. Reminders pause while you sleep and skip a nudge if you have just logged a drink.
