Post Description

Hey all,

I like to track my drinkng, but the idea of "one drink" in a world where beer varies be tween 4.5 and 8% seemed weird. Also, a lot of existing drink trackers are (understandably) aimed at people who want to stop drinking.

Anyways, I made an iPhone app to fix these things. Free for five different drinks, one-time in app purchase to unlock unlimited, plus a few other features.

I actually hand-coded a version of this years ago; this version is pointing LLM's at that codebase and guiding it through the iOS 26 rewrite.

I built an app that forces me to drink water before I can open TikTok

It turns screen time into a hydration gate: apps stay locked until the phone detects a face, a container, and a drinking gesture for about 15 seconds. Doing all inference on-device and using Apple's Screen Time APIs with no accounts or uploads is the genuinely smart part — it's an unusual, privacy-minded technical prank that actually solves the stated problem. Reliability in varied lighting/angles and easy workarounds will decide whether it's clever or just cute, but the engineering is impressive.
