The verdict

If you reach late afternoon and realize you have had 1 glass of water all day, WaterMinder sets a goal from your weight, activity and the weather and nudges you until you hit it. You log drinks from your iPhone, the standalone Apple Watch app or Siri Shortcuts, and it all lands in Apple Health. The free tier covers only basic tracking, and Premium is $14.99 a year or $29.99 once on the Mac.

Get it if

You forget to drink water on busy days and respond better to a tap on your wrist than a sticky note.

Skip it if

You already drink enough without trying, and a water bottle on your desk does the reminding for free.
