Water Reminder
Hydration fails quietly - you do not notice dehydration until headache lands. Water reminders at 10 AM, 1 PM, and 4 PM split the day into manageable gulps instead of chugging at midnight.
Desk workers fighting dry office air, warehouse staff in summer heat, and teachers who talk all day use browser alarms because chugging from a marked bottle is easier when a labeled ping says "drink now, not later." Labels like "full glass before standup" tie sound to measurable action, not vague wellness guilt. Pair with daily recurrence for steady habits; use weekly if weekends differ. Soft chime avoids startling open microphones on video calls; digital when you ignore gentle cues. Keep bottle visible where alarm fires - reminder without vessel fails. Water reminders complement medicine pages when pills require fluids, but stay here for general intake. Adjust seasonally - summer needs more pings than winter. Children and elders benefit from shared tablet labels everyone understands. This is not medical fluid prescription - follow clinicians for restricted intake conditions, and pairing a visible bottle with each desk reminder doubles adherence more than increasing alarm count alone. Mark bottle levels with tape so.

Troubleshooting the Water Reminder
- No sound: Allow audio for this site, unmute the tab, and raise system volume. Some browsers block sound until you interact with the page.
- Timer seems paused in another tab: Keep the Water Reminder tab visible for critical sessions, or install TimerClock as a PWA for better background behavior.
- Wrong time shown: Check the device clock and timezone. World and countdown tools also depend on the target zone you selected.
- Settings disappeared: Preferences are stored locally in this browser. Clearing site data removes saved alarms, themes, and recent durations.
- Alarm did not fire: Browser alarms need an open tab or installed PWA. Do not rely on them alone for medical or safety-critical wake-ups.
