Common questions
- I pressed Stop and it rang again.
- That's on purpose. Stop works like snooze: the alarm comes back a minute later. Open Sleepy Sip and finish your check (drink on camera or scan your water) and it's off for good. If you finish within that minute, your streak is safe.
- The camera didn't see me drink.
- If the check hasn't passed after about 30 seconds, an “I had a sip” button appears. Tap it and it counts, streak included. In a dark room the app switches to a single photo on a 3-second timer.
- There's no water, or I can't drink right now.
- Use the emergency stop on the check screen. It unlocks after a minute (sooner if the check has failed twice), then you hold the button for 10 seconds. That morning won't count toward your streak.
- Will it ring if my phone is on Silent or Focus?
- Yes. Sleepy Sip uses the same system alarms as the Clock app, so it rings through Silent mode and Focus and shows on the lock screen.
- I lost the code I scan.
- Open any alarm that uses Scan my water and tap Change next to your code. Every scan alarm shares one code, so changing it once changes it everywhere. You can scan any barcode or QR code, or print a new card from the app.
- What do I need to run it?
- An iPhone on iOS 26 or later.
- How do I restore a purchase?
- Open the plans screen in the app and tap Restore. Subscriptions are managed in your iPhone's Settings, under your name, then Subscriptions.
