## **What is Hydrify?**

A hydration-focused iOS app that showcases an **intuitive design**, providing users with **personalized hydration goals and reminders**. A standout feature is its commitment to user privacy: all data is stored directly on the device without any external access. The app's primary objective is to seamlessly integrate hydration into one's daily routine, **promoting well-being and productivity**.

### **Why Hydrify?**

A few months ago, I noticed a **drop in my energy** and realized I wasn't **hydrating properly**. While I wanted to address my own hydration needs, I also recognized that many others could be facing a similar challenge. This led to the creation of Hydrify. The app is designed with an emphasis on a **clutter-free and intuitive interface**, ensuring an experience that is both straightforward and delightful for users. In a world where our data often is exposed, Hydrify takes a different approach; it **neither tracks nor collects user data** – everything operates directly on your device.\
\
My hope is that Hydrify can assist many others in improving their hydration and overall well-being.
