Bottles💧

A simple "drink water, silly" reminder app for Windows 10 written in Python. Bottles sends a Windows Toast Notification every 20 minutes reminding you to drink water. It can be closed from its tray icon.

A personal project still under development. Written in Python.

Install:

A batch file is provided that copies Bottles.exe into C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Startup\

git clone https://github.com/heesemonster/bottles
cd bottles
install.bat

Bottles.exe can be manually copied or directly run from /bottles/dist/Bottles.exe

Right-click and select Quit on the tray icon to quit.

Uninstall:

The uninstall batch file finds and deletes Bottles.exe in C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Startup\

uninstall.bat

Both batch files attempt to automatically perform the action as an Administrator.

Build:

.exe builds are done usingpyinstaller - main.spec is included.

Contribute:

However/if you'd like. The below TO-DO is always up-to-date.

TO-DO:

• Reduce file size - it's currently @ 10 MB. Still a work in progress, like all of us are on the insde.
• Allow for custom durations and intervals - this functionality is semi-obvious
• More creative and colorful messages - water is fun (?)
