💧 Hydrate – The Figma Widget Helping Designers Remember to Drink Water

I have launched a Figma widget, and it’s 100% FREE. ✨

[ The aim is not to earn money, be in the limelight rather to help people who might have faced similar issues. ]

Why have I built this?

Like many designers, I often get so absorbed in my work that I forget the basics like drinking water. Hours pass, deadlines creep closer, and by evening I’d find myself with a dull headache that was nothing more than dehydration.

That’s when I realized:

" I don’t need another app, another tab, or another distraction. I needed hydration reminders inside the tool where I spend most of my day : Figma. "

What is it exactly?

So I built Hydrate, a free Figma widget that gently nudges you to drink water while you work:

• ⏱️ Smart timers (15/30/45/60 min)

• 💧 Progress tracker with droplets (each one feels like a win)

• 🌗 Light/Dark mode to match your workspace

• ✨ Motivational nudges that encourage, not shame

How does it help?

The goal wasn’t to gamify or punish missed sips. It was to build a companion that helps you form a healthy habit at your own pace.

Hydrate started as a small side project to solve my own problem, but I quickly realized it could help thousands of other designers (or anyone who spends long hours in Figma/FigJam).

It’s already being used by 100+ people, and my hope is that it helps the design community stay a little healthier and more mindful while they create.
