Toot

I shit you not, the single best thing anyone has ever done for my health was a friend writing me a Shortcut which homes me out of apps unless I’ve drunk enough water at that point in the day (as evaluated via my Health logging, which I do via Water Llama).💧

@sommer can you share the shortcut’s action flow? I’m interested to try it out :)

@bnut It's very long and highly customized at this point, but basically it calculates the sum of water I've had so far today and then how much I SHOULD have had by a given time. If A < B, runs the go to Home Screen action (but first shows me an alert and a chance to log water). I have it set as an automation for any app I use regularly on app launch.

@sommer oh cool, sounds simple enough. I didn’t know you could set shortcuts to run on app launch! Thanks :)

@sommer great to know that's possible. Don't think I could live with hitting that limit multiple times a day 😱

Do you still have the ScreenTime limits set where you don't know the password to extend it?
