Hydra - Drink Water Reminder

Stay hydrated with reliable, drift-free water reminders that survive browser restarts, sleep, and updates.

Hydra keeps you hydrated with water reminders you can actually trust. Most reminder extensions lose track of time after your laptop sleeps, your browser restarts, or the extension updates. Hydra doesn't. Every reminder is scheduled with Chrome's own alarm system and self-corrects the moment your computer wakes up, so you're never bombarded with missed notifications or left waiting past your interval. WHY HYDRA ⏱ Never drifts — reminders are scheduled as precise, self-correcting alarms, not fragile timers that break when a tab or popup closes. 🔔 Clear, actionable notifications — each reminder gives you one-tap "Done" and "Snooze" actions, right from the notification. 💤 Survives everything — browser restarts, system sleep, and extension updates all just work. Turn on "auto-restore" and Hydra picks up right where it left off. 🎛 Simple, focused controls — set your interval, pause or resume with one click, and see a live countdown to your next reminder. 🔒 Completely private — no accounts, no analytics, no ads, and no network requests of any kind. Your settings stay in Chrome's own storage and are never sent anywhere. See the full privacy policy for details. 🪶 Lightweight — built with plain JavaScript, no bloated frameworks, and a tiny background footprint. HOW IT WORKS 1. Click the Hydra icon and set how often you want to be reminded. 2. Press Start — Hydra schedules your first reminder and shows a live countdown. 3. When it's time, you'll get a notification with Done and Snooze buttons. Done resets the countdown; Snooze pushes it back a few minutes. 4. Close the popup, close your laptop, restart your browser — the reminder keeps firing on schedule regardless. PERMISSIONS, IN PLAIN ENGLISH - alarms — lets Hydra schedule your next reminder precisely. - notifications — lets Hydra show you the reminder itself. - storage — lets Hydra remember your settings between sessions. That's it. No host permissions, no content scripts, no access to the pages you browse. Stay on top of your water intake, without babysitting a spreadsheet or trusting your memory.
