Waterbreak
Drink water to unlock TikTok, Instagram and other apps
Waterbreak turns the moment you reach for your phone into a water break. Pick the apps that eat your day, like TikTok, Instagram or games. When they lock, take a few seconds' sip on camera and they unlock. Drink checking runs on your phone, so no video ever leaves it. Your daily goal comes from your weight and activity, counted in bottles, with streaks, leaderboards and collectable pixel sea monsters. Free with no ads, on iPhone and Android, in 13 languages.
Hey Product Hunt! I'm Agastya, a 17-year-old solo developer from Sydney.
Water reminder apps never worked for me because a notification is easy to swipe away. So Waterbreak waits at the moment you're already reaching for your phone: the apps you pick stay locked until you take a real sip, checked by the camera. Getting the drink check right was the hardest part. It runs entirely on your phone (no video uploaded) and looks for your face and a bottle, so it takes a few seconds rather than a photo upload.
It's free with no ads on iPhone and Android, in 13 languages. Once you hit your daily goal, your apps stay unlocked until tomorrow, so it never feels like a prison.
I'd love your honest feedback, especially on how strict the locking should be. What would make you keep using something like this?
I love the idea of treating mindless social media scrolling as a reward you earn through healthy habits, like drinking water. There are definitely more positive 'unlock' methods you could add in the future, but this is a fantastic idea and a great start!
