Sip schedule
This schedule divides a site planning estimate across the times you choose. It is a flexible reminder, not an instruction to drink on the clock or a measured personal requirement. Clinical fluid restrictions take priority.

Calendar reminders repeat daily at floating local times. Check the imported times, adjust them in your calendar, and remove reminders you do not want.

What is a hydration plan?
A hydration plan turns your daily water target into a practical schedule: how much to drink, when to start, when to ease off, and how many bottle refills you need.
Should I drink exactly on schedule?
No. Use the schedule as a habit scaffold. Thirst, heat, exercise, illness, food, and medical advice should still guide the final amount.
Can I add the plan to my calendar?
Yes. The tool creates a basic .ics reminder file from your schedule. Calendar apps may show floating local times depending on your device settings.
