A LITTLE NUDGE. A LITTLE PERSONALITY.Little reminders.
Little reminders.
Big feelings.
A friendly face makes a small pause feel a little more personal. Meet two of the bears looking out for you.
DUDU When you say “I drank”
Still preview
One sip. One happy little bear.
Dudu walks in with a gentle reminder. Choose “I drank” and he celebrates with a dance before heading back.
BUBU When you say “Not yet”
Still preview
Even a little bear understands.
A tiny shrug, a sad goodbye, and a little space. Bubu checks in again in ten minutes.

SMALL PAUSES. A LITTLE CARE.Made for the person
Made for the person
behind the screen.
Keep your workday moving at a pace that feels like yours. Turn on the reminders you want and leave the rest quiet.
A little room for your eyes
Opt into eye-rest reminders with a gentle look-away cue. Start a break when you're ready; the countdown can finish quietly.
Move a little
Make room to stand, stretch gently, walk, or change position. Movement breaks have their own schedule and history.
Room to focus
Start Focus, protect a meeting, set quiet hours, or pause for an hour. Optional safeguards can help your buddy stay considerate.
A crew with personality
Dudu, Bubu, Rushie, Alia, Boo and Miso each have their own way of checking in. Try a character without changing your everyday buddy.
Your Mac. Your rhythm.
Reminders run while the app is open and your Mac is awake and unlocked. Returning starts fresh intervals, without a backlog.
YOUR LITTLE ENTOURAGE
Pick your kind of company.
A gentle bear, an opinionated cat, a softly spooky ghost, or a familiar friendly face. Choose your everyday buddy, or try the crew.
Meet the crew
A gentler start
Your buddy can remind you to take a break without telling you what you should have achieved today.
WORK, PAUSE, REPEATA break that
A break that
leaves you room.
Eye-rest and movement cues have their own purpose. Choose Start break, Later or Skip. Only breaks you actually start and finish go into completed history.

A FEW LITTLE ANSWERS
Before your buddy moves in.
Is this only a water reminder?
No. Sip & Sass combines water reminders, eye-rest and movement breaks, Focus, quiet hours, and meeting protection with a little companion crew.
How does the 3-day trial work?
You get 72 hours of full-feature access from first launch, with no credit card. Choose yearly or lifetime access afterwards, then activate the key from your purchase email in Settings → Trial & license.
What happens if a reminder comes at a bad time?
Click the character to hide it immediately and snooze that reminder: 10 minutes for water, 5 minutes for a break. Use Pause, Focus or meeting protection for a longer quiet spell. No drink or break is logged by snoozing.
What if I only use my Mac for part of the day?
That's fine. The app works during your computer time. Sleep, lock, quiet hours and protection can pause reminders. It does not try to catch you up on reminders missed while away or change your personal water goal.
Does it work offline?
Reminders, notes and personal history are local. Paid activation and periodic license verification need internet access, with an offline allowance after a successful check. The licensing docs explain check-ins and offline access.
Which Macs are supported?
Sip & Sass supports Apple silicon Macs running macOS 14 or later. The download is Developer ID signed and notarized by Apple. Intel Macs are not supported.
