About UNSKIP
UNSKIP is an iOS hydration app built around the idea that a dismissable reminder is easy to ignore. The alarm rings and keeps ringing until you show a live in-app photo of yourself with your drink, which is verified on the iPhone in under a second. You can snooze for 15 minutes, but there is no dismiss button, and only proven sips count toward streaks.
It includes full stats with streaks, a timeline and weekly trends, and a schedule with editable goals from 1 to 3 liters. Privacy is a selling point: no account is needed and the site says photos never leave the phone, with nothing uploaded. It requires iOS 17 or later, and the page states it is soon on the App Store, so purchase now is a pre-order.
The pre-order offers lifetime access to Pro for $29 once, including future updates, with a full refund before launch and for 30 days after. At launch the app is described as subscription-only, listed at $9 per year.
