People are actually downloading and making purchases on my very first app! I honestly can’t believe it, it feels so surreal to see something I built being used by others! Check out HydroLoop: Water Tracker on the App Store, Android version coming very soon ! https://apps.apple.com/us/app/hydroloop-water-tracker/id6782740767
Hey everyone, looking to network with people in the app space ! Just launched my first app and looking to make many more. Talk to me!
Our first app is finally live, and I’m thrilled and excited about it. The idea was to create something that can make a mundane habit enjoyable! This app has helped me regain my hydration routine, and I hope it does the same for others!

I’m thrilled to announce the launch of my first iOS app today! I created this app to assist me in tracking my water intake. I genuinely hope it provides value to anyone who finds it useful. I’m open to all feedback and would love to hear your thoughts. Enjoy using the app!
Spent the last few months building a hydration app solo — just hit submit
I’m an indie dev and HydroLoop is the project I actually finished instead of abandoning. Started because no water app ever stuck for me, so I built the one I wanted: weather-based goals, per-beverage tracking, streaks, Apple Health, widgets.
The hardest part wasn’t the features, it was reminder design — figuring out how to nudge someone without becoming the app they mute. Still not sure I nailed it.
It’s in App Store review now. Ask me anything about going from idea to submission as a solo builder.
I made a hydration app that changes your water goal based on the weather
Solo project, just submitted to the App Store. It’s called HydroLoop — tracks water, weights coffee/tea differently, does streaks and widgets, and bumps your target on hot days. Not live yet but I’m pretty proud of how the water-fill animation turned out. Happy to share details.
What finally made hydration stick for you?
I’ve quit every water tracking app I’ve tried, usually within a week. They nag too much or feel like a chore. Curious what actually worked for the people here — an app, a marked bottle, or just habit?
Asking partly because I’ve been messing around building my own, and I keep getting stuck on the same question: how pushy should reminders be without being annoying? Gentle enough and you ignore them; aggressive enough and you resent them. Seems like there’s no winning.
What’s the move?
