A little help.

Look for your character in the menu bar at the top-right of your Mac. Wimlet runs there rather than in the Dock. If the menu bar is crowded, check whether macOS or a menu-bar organizer has hidden its icon.

Open Wimlet and turn Reminders on. Check your active hours and that at least one action is enabled. A snooze, busy Calendar event or full-screen quiet mode can delay the next reminder. Your Mac must be awake and Wimlet must be running.

Use the duration control on the action before you start. “Walk for” is how long the walk lasts. “Remind me every” in reminder settings controls how often the reminder comes around.

Use the water button at the top of Wimlet to add your selected glass size. Use Undo last glass to reverse the latest drink. Change the daily goal, glass size and metric/US units in Settings.

Today’s water, action counts and wins start fresh each local day. Activity history and weekly progress remain. Opening Wimlet or waking your Mac also checks for a new day.

Calendar quiet time is optional. Turn it off in Wimlet’s reminder settings, or revoke access under System Settings → Privacy & Security → Calendars. Only busy, timed events pause reminders; all-day and free events do not.

After installation, add Wimlet in System Settings → General → Login Items. Your Mac will then open it when you sign in.
