HydraTag Pro: App Upgrade with One Free NFC Sticker
A one-time upgrade for the free HydraTag water tracker app for Android. Every Pro purchase includes one free NFC sticker for the bottle you already own, so a tap on your bottle logs a drink in the app.
HydraTag Pro is coming for US$9.99 one time, with one free NFC sticker included. You pay shipping. Canada and USA first.

HydraTag Pro
Coming soon. A one-time app upgrade with one free NFC sticker included. The sticker is not sold on its own, and nothing is for sale yet.

HydraTag Pro
A one-time upgrade for the HydraTag Android app, planned as a Google Play in-app purchase. In the current app version (0.1.10), NFC sticker setup and tap logging are free. In the forthcoming release, NFC tap logging and sticker setup, reading and writing will require an active HydraTag Pro upgrade; manual logging, quick add, reminders, history and unit choice stay free. One free NFC sticker for the bottle you already own is included; the sticker is a purchase benefit, not what unlocks Pro. Further Pro details will be described here before purchases open.

How It Works
Log a Drink
Open the free HydraTag app on your Android phone, pick a quick amount such as 250 ml, and tap Add. You can also type any amount, in millilitres or US fluid ounces.
Tap to Log Faster
Optional: set the amount per tap in the app and write it to an NFC sticker on the bottle you already own. After you drink, tap your NFC-enabled phone to the sticker and the app saves that amount. Free in the current app; part of HydraTag Pro in the forthcoming release.
Track Progress
Watch the day fill toward your goal, review or remove drinks in History, and let reminders pause after your first drink. You log the drink; the sticker does not measure it.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is the HydraTag water tracker app free?
Yes. The current HydraTag app for Android is free on Google Play and needs no account. Manual logging, quick-add amounts, reminders, history and unit choice are free and stay free in the forthcoming release. In the current app version (0.1.10), NFC sticker setup and tap logging are free. In the forthcoming release, NFC tap logging and sticker setup will require HydraTag Pro, an optional one-time upgrade that is coming soon. What stays free and what Pro adds
Do I need an NFC sticker to track my water?
No. You can log every drink by hand with the quick-add buttons or by typing an amount, and that stays free. An NFC sticker is a shortcut: tap your phone to it after a drink and the app saves the amount you set up. The sticker does not measure water. In the current app version (0.1.10), NFC sticker setup and tap logging are free. In the forthcoming release, NFC tap logging and sticker setup, reading and writing will require an active HydraTag Pro upgrade; manual logging, quick add, reminders, history and unit choice stay free. Track water without a sticker
How does tapping the sticker log a drink?
In the app, choose the amount each tap should log and write it to the sticker once. After you drink, hold the back of your NFC-enabled Android phone against the sticker. The app saves that amount and shows a confirmation with Undo. You log the drink; the sticker does not measure it. In the current app version (0.1.10), NFC sticker setup and tap logging are free. In the forthcoming release, NFC tap logging and sticker setup, reading and writing will require an active HydraTag Pro upgrade; manual logging, quick add, reminders, history and unit choice stay free. Compatible third-party NFC stickers may work for Pro users, but a sticker never unlocks Pro: Pro is verified through your upgrade, not through the sticker. How sticker logging works
How do the water reminders work?
Turn on Remind me to drink water in Settings, pick three, four or six reminders a day, and allow notifications when your phone asks. Reminders can pause for the rest of the day once you log your first drink. Set up reminders
Can I use ounces instead of millilitres?
Yes. Choose Millilitres or US fl oz in Settings. Every drink is stored in millilitres and shown in the unit you pick, so switching units later does not change your history. Millilitres vs US fluid ounces
Can I correct a drink I logged by mistake?
Yes. Tap Undo right after logging, or open History, select the day and remove the entry with the cross beside it. Removal cannot be undone, so log the correct amount again if you need to. History shows 7-day, 30-day and yearly views with your goal days. Review and correct your history
Where is my water history stored?
On your phone. The current free app has no account, no cloud sync and sends no analytics events. You can clear today or delete all history in Settings, and uninstalling the app removes its data. The forthcoming Pro upgrade will need account verification to confirm your purchase, and a shipping address to deliver the included sticker; the free app will still need no account.

What is HydraTag Pro, and what does it cost?
HydraTag Pro is a planned one-time upgrade for the app: US$9.99 once as a Google Play in-app purchase, with one free NFC sticker included. In the forthcoming release, NFC tap logging and sticker setup, reading and writing will require an active HydraTag Pro upgrade; manual logging, quick add, reminders, history and unit choice stay free. After purchase you will claim the included sticker from inside the app (or from a purchase-linked page the app opens). You pay shipping separately; that is disclosed before you buy Pro, and the actual shipping total with applicable tax is shown before you pay it. Sticker delivery will launch in Canada and the USA. Pro purchases and sticker claims are not open yet. The current free app remains available on Google Play. See the Pro offer
Standard or On-metal sticker?
Choose Standard for non-metal plastic or glass surfaces. Choose On-metal for steel or other metal bottles: its ferrite backing helps shield the NFC antenna from metal interference. On-metal describes the backing, not a decorative metallic finish. Final bottle and adhesive compatibility is being tested. Choose the right sticker
What phones are compatible?
The free app is on Google Play for Android; check the listing for availability on your device. Logging with a sticker needs an NFC-enabled phone, while manual logging needs no NFC at all. A tested sticker compatibility list will be published before Pro opens. iPhone support is not yet confirmed. Compatibility and care status
Where will the included sticker ship, and how long will it take?
Sticker delivery will launch in Canada and the USA, with dispatch from the Lower Mainland in British Columbia. Shipping prices, delivery services and delivery estimates will be published before purchases open. You pay shipping; the charge and applicable tax are shown before payment. Delivery and order status
How should I wash a bottle with the sticker on it?
Care instructions will be published after testing. Neither sticker version is confirmed dishwasher-safe or suitable for soaking. Supplier water-resistance specifications do not establish durability under repeated bottle washing.
Shipping the included sticker
You pay shipping. The shipping charge and applicable tax will be shown before payment. Sticker delivery will launch in Canada and the USA, with dispatch from the Lower Mainland in British Columbia. Shipping prices and delivery services will be published before purchases open.
Returns and remedies
No physical return of the included sticker is required. Paid app refund rights and remedies for damaged or undelivered shipments still apply. Final terms will be published before purchases open.
