Water Drop is a menu bar water reminder for macOS. It counts your glasses, shows your progress, and resets every midnight. Nothing more.
Most water tracking apps live on your phone. But if you work at a Mac for hours at a time, your phone might be in another room, on silent, or just easy to ignore. A Mac water tracker puts your hydration progress right where your eyes already are -- in the menu bar.
Water Drop does not try to gamify your hydration or overwhelm you with charts and statistics. It shows a small drop icon and a number in your menu bar. That number is how many glasses you have had today. Click the icon, tap Drink, and the number goes up. That is the whole experience.
There are no push notifications telling you to drink. No badges. No streaks to maintain. The counter in your menu bar is a quiet, passive reminder. You glance at it, you notice you are behind, you go get a glass of water. It works because it is simple.
If you have ever opened a hydration app on your phone, stared at a dashboard of rings and graphs, and then closed it without logging anything, Water Drop is for you. It respects the fact that tracking water should take two seconds, not two minutes.
A small water drop icon and your current glass count sit in your menu bar, always visible. No need to open a window or check your phone.
Open the popover to see filled and empty drop icons showing exactly where you stand against your daily goal.
Set your target anywhere from 1 to 20 glasses. Change it in settings whenever your needs shift.
Your count goes back to zero at midnight. Every day starts clean with no manual intervention needed.
Toggle one setting and Water Drop starts automatically when you boot your Mac. It is ready before you are.
All data stays in UserDefaults on your Mac. No accounts, no cloud sync, no analytics. Your hydration data is yours alone.
Water Drop places a small counter in your Mac menu bar. Each time you drink a glass of water, click the icon and tap the Drink button. The counter updates instantly and your progress is shown as filled drop icons in the popover.
No. Water Drop is intentionally quiet. There are no push notifications, no pop-ups, and no sounds. The counter in your menu bar serves as a gentle, always-visible reminder of where you stand for the day.

No. Water Drop is a one-time purchase from the Mac App Store. There are no subscriptions, no in-app purchases, and no hidden fees. You buy it once and it is yours.

Yes, Water Drop works completely offline. It stores all your hydration data locally on your Mac using UserDefaults. There is no cloud sync, no server connection, and no internet requirement. Your data never leaves your computer, which also means it works perfectly on planes, in cafes without Wi-Fi, or anywhere else you use your Mac.
Completely. Water Drop does not collect any personal data. There is no account creation, no analytics, no telemetry, and no cloud storage.

Most water tracking apps are designed for iPhone and rely on push notifications to remind you to drink. Water Drop takes a different approach. It lives in your Mac menu bar, always visible while you work, so you see your progress passively without any interruptions. There are no notifications, no gamification, no social features, and no complex dashboards. It is built specifically for people who spend their day at a Mac and want a quiet, two-second interaction to log a glass of water.
One-time purchase. No subscription. Available on the Mac App Store.
