The easiest way to track your daily water intake in Notion is to embed a Blocs Water Tracker widget directly into any Notion page. It takes under a minute, requires no formulas or databases, and the free tier covers basic daily tracking with no sign-up required.
Notion is where many people plan their day, track goals, and manage habits. Having your hydration tracker in the same workspace means one less app to open. The problem is that Notion doesn't have a native water tracker, so most people either ignore it entirely, set up a clunky database with checkboxes, or switch to a separate app and never look at it again. An embeddable widget solves all three issues.
Blocs provides a dedicated water tracker widget built specifically for Notion embeds. It renders inside your page as a live, interactive tool, not a static screenshot or a link that opens somewhere else. You log glasses directly inside Notion.
/embed and select Embed from the menu.https://blocs.me/water-trackerThat's it. No account, no configuration, no database to maintain. Tap the glass icon to log each cup of water throughout the day.
The free tier of the Blocs Water Tracker gives you a daily log with a visual progress indicator and a default 8-glass goal. It resets automatically each day. No sign-up is required.
For $17 as a one-time payment (not a subscription), Blocs Pro unlocks custom daily goals, choice of units (oz or ml), weekly and monthly analytics, streak tracking, theme customization, and cloud sync across devices. The pricing page has the full breakdown.
| Feature | Free | Pro ($17 one-time) |
|---|---|---|
| Daily water log | Yes | Yes |
| Visual progress indicator | Yes | Yes |
| Custom daily goal | No | Yes |
| Units (oz / ml) | Default only | Customizable |
| Weekly/monthly analytics | No | Yes |
| Streak tracking | No | Yes |
| Theme customization | No | Yes |
| Cloud sync | No | Yes |
| No Blocs branding | No | Yes |
If you prefer to stay entirely within Notion's native toolset, you can build a simple water intake log using a database. This requires more setup and ongoing maintenance, but it integrates tightly with other Notion content.
prop("Glasses") / 8 * 100 for percentage).The downside: you have to remember to update a database entry rather than tapping a button. There's also no visual progress bar, no automatic reset, and no streaks unless you build them yourself with formulas. For most people tracking water intake, the manual approach creates friction and gets abandoned quickly.
Habit tracking works best when logging feels frictionless. A widget with a single tap to log a glass is categorically faster than opening a database, finding today's row, and editing a number. The embed approach also gives you a visual indicator at a glance, which a plain number field in a table doesn't.
The Blocs widget for water tracking was designed specifically for this daily-use pattern. It resets automatically, tracks progress visually, and stays inside your Notion workspace so there's no app-switching.
If you're already using Notion for habit tracking more broadly, the Blocs suite of Notion widgets includes a Habit Tracker, Pomodoro Timer, and more, all embeddable the same way.
Yes. Embed blocks in Notion render on both iOS and Android via the Notion mobile app. The Blocs water tracker is fully interactive on mobile, so you can log water on the go from your phone without switching apps.
Yes. The Blocs Water Tracker resets automatically at midnight each day. Your previous day's data is saved (for Pro users with analytics enabled) so you can review your history over time.
No. The basic water tracker is completely free with no sign-up required. Blocs Pro ($17, one-time payment) adds custom goals, units, analytics, and streaks, but daily tracking works out of the box at no cost.
You need a Notion account to edit pages and add embed blocks, but Notion has a free plan. The Blocs widget itself does not require a separate account for the free tier.
You can use any existing Notion page or dashboard and add the Blocs water tracker embed to it. There's no special template required, though pairing it with a habit tracking setup in Notion can make your workspace more cohesive.
As of August 2026, Blocs offers a Pomodoro Timer, Habit Tracker, Countdown Timer, Progress Bar, Clock, Calendar, Quote of the Day, and Weather widget, all embeddable into Notion the same way. See the full widget list and pricing for details.
The fastest path is to embed the free Blocs Water Tracker right now. Open a Notion page, type /embed, and paste https://blocs.me/water-tracker. Done in under a minute, no account required.
If you want analytics, custom goals, and streak tracking, the one-time $17 Pro upgrade covers all of it, plus access to every other widget in the Blocs suite.
