Find your little companion.
Missy Sippy is a menu bar app, so it does not appear in the Dock. Look for the water drop in the menu bar, or the little companion beside the notch. Click either to reach your controls.
- On first launch, choose your wake and sleep times.
- Review your water goal, adjust it, or choose reminders without a daily goal.
- Enable notifications if you would like drink reminders.
- Click a drink choice to record it. Use “Other amount” in the menu bar view for a different size.
The Mac App Store release is being prepared. These instructions describe the current app and will be available when the app is released.
Not seeing a reminder?
- Check that “Send drink reminders” is on in the app’s settings.
- In macOS System Settings → Notifications, select Missy Sippy and allow notifications.
- Check whether a Focus mode is silencing notifications.
- Check your wake and bedtime. Reminders are quiet in the two hours before bed and outside your waking hours.
- If you reached your water goal or snoozed reminders, they pause until the relevant schedule resumes.
Reminder spacing is at least 60 minutes. Logging water can move the next reminder later. The app is designed to leave room between nudges, rather than send one after every interaction.
Notch or desktop?
Open settings and use “Companion placement” to choose Notch or Roaming pet. “Show companion” controls visibility. On a screen without a notch, the companion appears near the menu bar.
Click the compact notch companion to expand it. Use the chevron to collapse it, or click elsewhere. In roaming mode, drag your companion to another position.
Correct a water entry.
Quick amounts are estimates: sip 30 ml, cup 150 ml, glass 250 ml and finished bottle 1 L. Enter another amount when your glass is different.
Use “Undo last drink” in settings to remove your latest entry. “Reset today’s water” clears entries for the current waking day, and “Undo reset” can restore that daily reset. A waking day follows your chosen schedule, so it may cross midnight.
Resetting today does not erase all earlier entries or preferences. There is no account or cloud backup to restore deleted local records from our servers.
Start with your Mac. Rest when you do.
“Open at login” is optional. Turn it on in settings if you want Missy Sippy to be ready when you start work. You can turn it off again in the app or in macOS Login Items settings.
For less animation, use macOS System Settings → Accessibility → Display → Reduce motion. The app supports reduced motion and accessibility descriptions.
To quit, open the menu bar controls and choose Quit. Closing the expanded companion is not the same as quitting the app.

For a bug, question or suggestion, email support@meldorigins.com. This opens your email app; the website does not submit a form or collect a water log.
Include your macOS version, app version, which companion placement you use and what you expected to happen. A screenshot can help if you choose to share one. Please leave out private health information, passwords and payment details.
