Sip Happens

Helping children build healthy hydration habits through positive routines and friendly companions.

Available on iPhone, iPad and Apple Watch.

The Sip Happens Buddy — a friendly cat over calm water
How it works

A gentle routine, in four small steps.

1

Choose a Buddy

Pick a friendly companion and give it a name of your own.

2

Log drinks with a quick tap

A small sip or a big sip — whatever they just drank, in one tap.

3

Help your Buddy fill their bowl

Each sip fills the day's bowl — a small, friendly goal to share.

4

Build healthy routines over time

Small, positive moments add up to a habit that lasts.

Designed for families

Built for trust, from the first tap.

Sip Happens is a calm, positive companion — never a tracker. Parents stay in control, and there's nothing competing for a child's attention.
