Reads and writes Apple HealthKit’s water intake metric. If you log via another app (Apple Watch, Fitness app), it shows up here too — one source of truth.
Set your daily goal (default 64 oz / 2 L). Visual ring fills as you log. Done quietly — no streak-shaming when you miss a day.
Add a small Lock Screen widget showing your progress. Tap from the Lock Screen to log a glass without unlocking.
You can enable reminders if you want, but the default is off. WaterMinder and similar bombard you with reminders to drive engagement; this app does not.
Plant Nanny adds a tamagotchi plant that dies if you skip a day. WaterMinder upsells you constantly. This is a one-time purchase that does the one job.
Swarmval apps avoid surprise weekly pricing. The upgrade path is visible before purchase and support links are easy to find.

Yes, via HealthKit. Logging from the iPhone shows up on the Watch and vice versa. Both contribute to the same daily total.
No. Notifications are off by default. You can enable hourly reminders if you want, but the app does not push them on you.
Yes — all data lives in HealthKit on your device. The app does not sync to a Swarmval server. No account, no analytics, no third-party sharing.
Same kind of work. Same anti-fleeceware promise.
