Hydration Coach
· vv1.7.1
About
Hydration Coach helps you keep hydration visible during everyday training and longer endurance sessions.
Support the Development: https://buymeacoffee.com/forsterf
It is built around fast on-watch logging, clear hydration status, and practical reminders. Drinks can be logged directly from the watch, reminders can run in the background, and the app can show how far you are from your daily hydration target. Carb logging is included as a lightweight training add-on for gels or fuel intake, without turning the app into a cluttered nutrition tracker.
#### What Hydration Coach does
- Log drinks quickly with configurable ml presets
- Log carb intake with configurable gram presets
- Undo the last logged action
- Use hydration reminders in the background
- Use notification actions to log common drink presets directly from a reminder where supported
- Use quiet hours to avoid unwanted reminders
- Track progress toward a daily hydration target
- Optionally adjust the daily hydration target from recent activity data where supported
- See hydration status in a clean glance view
- Open directly from the glance into the quick logging screen
- Review compact 7-day drink and carb trends on the watch
- Use the app offline, without a phone connection during logging
#### Training-first design
Hydration Coach is not a generic habit tracker or decorative watch face. It is designed as a small training tool:
- large, readable quick-log screen
- simple up/down action carousel
- hydration-first dashboard
- carb tracking shown only when relevant
- compact glance status
- background diagnostics for checking reminder behavior
#### Reminder modes
Hydration Coach supports two hydration reminder styles:
- interval reminders after the last drink
- target-based reminders when you fall behind your hydration target
Target-based reminders use debounce logic to avoid repeated reminder spam. Quiet hours are respected.
#### Carb tracking
Carb tracking is included for endurance use. It is intentionally secondary to hydration:
- log gels or carb presets
- show today’s carb total when relevant
- include carbs in analytics
- no separate carb reminder system
#### Who it is for
- runners
- cyclists
- triathletes
- endurance athletes
- regular Garmin users who want a lightweight hydration reminder
- anyone who wants fast logging without opening a phone app
#### Notes
- Hydration reminders require devices with supported background functionality.
- Notification actions depend on device and firmware support.
- Activity-based target adjustment depends on available watch activity history.
- Carb tracking is for manual logging only and does not create carb reminders.
