Why hydrate
Every glass, one small reason why
The moment you confirm you've had water, Poonam shows you one of these 15 facts — a small reward for a good habit.
Your body is about 60% water — every sip is literally rebuilding you.
Even 2% dehydration can drop your focus and mood. You just refuelled your brain.
Water helps flush toxins through your kidneys. Thank yourself later.
Hydration keeps your skin elastic and glowing — nature's cheapest skincare.
Drinking water can boost your metabolism for the next hour.
Your joints are cushioned by water. You just oiled the machine.
Water carries oxygen and nutrients to every cell. Delivery complete.
Feeling tired? Fatigue is often just mild dehydration in disguise.
Cold water makes your body work a little harder to warm it, burning a few extra calories.
Water regulates body temperature — your internal AC just got serviced.
Staying hydrated can reduce headaches and help prevent migraines.
Your heart pumps easier when you're hydrated. Look after it.
Water improves digestion and helps prevent constipation. Your gut says thanks.

A glass of water first thing in the morning kickstarts every organ in your body.

FAQ
Questions, answered
What is Jalpio?
Jalpio is a free browser extension that reminds you to drink water every hour. Poonam, an animated character, slides in from the bottom-right corner of your screen and stays there until you confirm you've had a glass of water.
How does the hourly water reminder work?
Jalpio runs a quiet hourly timer in your browser. When the hour is up, Poonam slides in with a short message asking you to drink water. The card will not close on its own — you have to press "I have drunk water" to dismiss it, which resets the timer for the next hour.
Can I choose which Poonam reminds me?
Yes. Jalpio ships with three Poonam looks — the Everyday Reminder, the No-Nonsense Nudge, and the Celebration Edition. Pick your favourite from the extension popup at any time.
What happens after I confirm I've had water?
Jalpio shows you one of 15 short, factual reminders about why hydration matters — covering focus, skin, digestion, joints, and more — then closes after a few seconds.
Is Jalpio available on the Chrome Web Store?
Jalpio is currently distributed as a downloadable extension package. Download the zip from this page, unzip it, and load it into Chrome or any Chromium-based browser using Developer Mode. Chrome Web Store availability will be announced on this page.
Does Jalpio track or store my personal data?
No. Jalpio only stores your chosen character and reminder timing locally in your browser using Chrome's storage API. Nothing is sent to Jalpio's servers.
Which browsers does Jalpio support?
Jalpio works on any Chromium-based browser, including Google Chrome, Microsoft Edge, and Brave, using Manifest V3.
Why should I drink more water during the day?
Mild dehydration is common during long work sessions and can quietly affect focus, mood, energy, skin, and digestion. A once-an-hour nudge is usually enough to keep intake steady without needing to think about it.
