How drinks are counted
Updated: 2026-11-11
Two numbers: poured and counted
Every entry carries two numbers. Poured is what went into the glass. Counted is what goes towards the day's target once the factor is applied. On the home screen the pale ring shows poured and the solid ring shows counted.
For example, a 240 ml filter coffee counts as 168 ml. A 330 ml beer moves the day back by 132 ml.
Factors
- Water, mineral water, sparkling water: 1.00
- Ayran, şalgam, coconut water, sports drinks: 1.10 – 1.20
- Milk, plant milk, kefir: 1.10
- Tea, herbal tea, matcha, fruit juice: 0.85
- Coffee (espresso, Turkish, filter, latte, cold brew), lemonade: 0.70
- Soft drinks, sweetened iced tea: 0.60
- Energy drinks: 0.50
- Beer, cider: -0.40
- Wine, rakı, spirits, cocktails: -1.00
When you log a drink, its factor is copied into the entry. If factors are updated later, the numbers for past days stay as they were.
Daily target
The starting target is 35 ml per kilogram. Under 18 and over 65 it goes up by 5%. Activity adds 0, 350, 700 or 1000 ml. Sex moves it by ±100 ml, and has no effect if you leave it blank. The result is rounded to 50 ml and kept between 1200 and 6000 ml. With no weight entered, 70 kg is used.
You can also set the target yourself in Settings. A target you set replaces the formula.
Weather
If you turn weather on, temperature and humidity add up to 600 ml to the target. The reading comes from Apple's weather service using your approximate location and is trusted for six hours. With no reading the addition is zero; the app never guesses. Once you've met the day's target, warmer weather later that day won't raise it.
Caffeine
Caffeine is shown for information only and does not change the target.
Limits
The factors are population averages applied to one person. Body composition, medication and illness are not taken into account. This is a product model, not medical guidance. If a health condition means you need to watch your fluid intake, follow your doctor's advice.
