Sip or Die — hydration companion (Windows)

Sip or Die is a tiny Windows tray companion that reminds you to drink water — with attitude.

Set how many glasses you want per day. On schedule, a pixel-art mascot pops up in the corner. Ignore it and it escalates through five increasingly pushy lines. Click (or your hotkey) when you drank. That’s the whole loop.

Choose your mascot

• Cat — judgmental desk cat with a water glass
• Drop — sarcastic water droplet
• Clip — original paperclip helper (not Clippy™)

Each mascot has Happy / Normal / Angry sprites that match the reminder intensity. You can also load your own PNGs (free — we ask for a Ko-fi tip once; skip anytime).

Features

• 9 professions that flavor the roast (developer, artist, streamer…)
• English + Spanish
• Active hours + glasses-per-day interval
• Daily glass counter
• Hide hotkey (default Ctrl+Shift+Esc)
• Confetti on first reminder of the day / preview
• Optional reminder sound
• Lives in the system tray — doesn’t steal focus for long

Made by Deer Rock Studios. Free forever. Tips keep the sarcasm flowing.
