A water counter that quietly resets every morning
Hydration is a small habit that adds up, and NURA gives it a small, honest tool. The water counter holds how many glasses you've had today against a daily goal, and starts fresh at midnight — your own local midnight, not London's. It is a counter, not a nag: nothing here schedules a notification or pesters you. The only thing time decides is which day “today” is.
Tap to drink, hold to undo
A single large glass fills toward your goal as you drink:
- Tap the glass — adds one, with a light haptic each sip.
- Cross the goal — a firmer buzz and a brief glow the moment you reach it; sips beyond the goal stay light.
- Hold the glass, or press the minus — takes one back, so a mistap is undone without hunting for a control.
The glass shows your count out of the goal and a running “n to go,” and a screen-reader announces each change. The daily goal itself is adjustable from 1 up to 30 glasses (the default is 8), and the count is capped at a sane 60 so a fat thumb or a corrupt store can never drive it to nonsense.
The reset that needs no timer
Here is the clever, honest part: the counter resets each new day without ever scheduling anything. Every read passes through a single pure function that stamps the stored tally with today's local calendar date. If the stored day matches today, you see the same tally. If it's a new day, the count is reset to zero and your goal is carried forward. So the first glance on a new morning always shows an empty glass — even if you left the card open across midnight, NURA rolls it onto the new day on its own.
| Setting | Value |
|---|---|
| Default daily goal | 8 glasses |
| Goal range | 1 – 30 |
| Daily reset | At your local midnight, automatic, no timer |
| Goal after reset | Preserved |
Why a counter and not a reminder
NURA is deliberate about what it promises. A hydration reminder that fires while your phone is on silent, or gets dropped under iOS's pending-notification limits, is a promise the app can't reliably keep — so it doesn't make it. The water tool counts what you tell it, accurately and offline, and leaves the reminding to you. That same discipline is why NURA does not build medication tracking: if the reminder can't be guaranteed, it isn't shipped.
Local, tested, private
Today's tally is stored on the device and survives a reload — but not, by design, a new day. The day-math is a set of pure functions with no network and no server behind them, covered by NURA's automated test suite (~1,327 tests) and an independent adversarial audit. There is no account, and your hydration data never leaves the phone.
