Water tracking as it should be: simple, smart, and private

An innovative water tracking app built exclusively for iPhone and Apple Watch, from the ground up with your privacy in mind. No ads, no sponsorships, no tracking, no analytics, no profiling.
I built Vyyz because of a simple frustration: I kept forgetting to drink enough water during the day, and felt like a prune by the afternoon. When I searched the App Store for a water reminder app, many of the "top" apps were clearly Android ports that felt alien on iOS, or riddled with ads, or "freemium" apps with artificially limited features. I had the feeling that many of them were designed to track me, instead of my water intake.
So I decided to build the water tracker I actually wanted to use:
- Built exclusively on Apple's frameworks: SwiftUI, SwiftData, CloudKit, HealthKit, WeatherKit
- One tap to log: logging a drink should be as quick as possible on the iPhone or the Apple Watch - I have more important things to do, don't make me navigate through three screens
- No account creation, no ads, no tracking, no monetization or data harvesting: I don't want advertisers to track, and trackers to follow, repackage, and sell every single click I make. Software should respect its users. Just build a tool that does one job well.
- Honest business model – Straightforward subscription with a reasonable trial period, and a loud and clear 'No' to surveillance capitalism.
