Drimin is a calm, private water-intake tracker that lives gently on your phone — not on someone else's server. No accounts. No ads. No internet permission. Just a beautiful orb that fills up as your day does.
Most water apps shout. Drimin whispers. Every feature is shaped to fit into the background of your day — and to stay completely on your device.
A custom-painted wave fills your progress in real time. Smooth, weightless, addictive in the good way.
A glance-able summary widget and a one-tap quick-actions widget. Log a sip without unlocking the app.
Long-press the icon to add 250 ml, 500 ml, or open stats. Branded vector shortcuts that look native everywhere.
Gentle nudges on your schedule. They respect Do-Not-Disturb windows and stop the moment you hit your goal.
SQLCipher-backed local database with a 256-bit key stored in the Android Keystore. Your sips never leave your phone.
Drimin doesn't request the INTERNET permission at all. Even if it wanted to phone home, the OS wouldn't let it.
Adopts your wallpaper palette on Android 12+, or pick one of eight calibrated swatches built around water.
Optional FLAG_SECURE mode blanks the preview when you switch apps. A small touch with a big feel.
Open it, tap once, get on with your day. The rest is taken care of behind the scenes.
Pick your daily goal, choose a cup size you love, and you're done. Drimin builds your encrypted database on first launch and locks the key away in the Android Keystore. There's no account because there's nothing to account for.
One tap on the floating button logs a sip. A second wave ripples through the orb, your remaining-to-goal recalculates, and your streak updates — locally, instantly, without a single network call.
Two native widgets sit on your home screen. The summary widget shows today's progress ring; the action widget puts +250 ml, +500 ml and Stats one tap away. Both update instantly from inside the app and survive reboots.
Week and month views are built from the same encrypted store. The chart shows every day of the period, your breakdown puts today on top, and the metrics — total, daily average, goal-met days, success rate — never lie about an empty day.
Pick reminder intervals, a Do-Not-Disturb window, the reminder sound and whether to vibrate. Choose a theme, an accent and whether to opt into Material You. Then turn on the privacy screen lock and tell the OS to stop optimizing the app's battery for rock-solid reminders.
Yes. No subscription, no in-app purchases, no ads. Drimin is built as a focused tool for one job, and that job is done well at price zero.
It's the only way it works. Drimin never requests the INTERNET permission. Everything — your intakes, your settings, your widgets — lives on your device.
It's gone. Drimin's allowBackup flag is set to false and the custom data-extraction rules opt out of Google cloud backup and device-to-device transfer. There is no copy anywhere else.
Drimin leans on Android-specific primitives — app widgets, launcher shortcuts, the Keystore, WorkManager, custom notification channels per sound. An iOS version would be a different app, not a port. For now we'd rather do one platform really well.
Yes — Drimin uses WorkManager with periodic scheduling and a one-tap shortcut to exempt itself from battery optimization on aggressive OEM skins. Once you grant that, reminders are reliable.
Not in the first release. Drimin's "no internet" posture means any export would be a local file. We're designing a clean import/export flow now — see the blog for updates.
No accounts. No ads. No cloud. Just a calm daily habit that stays on your phone, exactly where your data belongs.
