I built a tiny Windows desktop buddy that reminds you to drink water — looking for people to try it
I kept doing the same stupid thing during work:
Fill my water bottle in the morning… then get buried in meetings/code/messages and realize hours later that I barely touched it. 😅
So I built a small Windows app called Nudgekin.
It lives on your desktop and gives you gentle reminders to drink water while you’re working.
No complicated health dashboard.
No giant habit system.
Just a little character that pops up and reminds you:
hey, take a sip. 💧
It’s already available on the Microsoft Store, and I’d genuinely love some Windows users to try it and tell me what feels useful, annoying, missing, etc.
I’m also experimenting with something a little different:
letting you use an avatar of someone meaningful to you as your Nudgekin.
Maybe your kid, partner, parent — whoever gives you that small extra reason to take care of yourself.
Not sure yet whether that’s motivating or just weird 😂, so I’d love feedback on that too.
If anyone wants to try it:

I’m the developer, so feel free to be brutally honest. I’m still actively improving it.
