Hydrate is a collaborative ghost made by Zdzisiu and Zichqec, in celebration of “hydrate day” on 8/20¹⁾. The ghost is focused on one single function; reminding the user to drink water at a regular, customizable interval, and giving positive reinforcement when a drink is taken. No random dialogue is available.

• Drink reminders, which can be set at a custom interval
  • Optional reminder sounds; comes with 6 defaults and an option to add a custom sound
  • Drink reminders may be “paused”, which will stop drink reminders for as long as the pause menu is open, and ensure the user's drink streak is not lost
• Tracks stats such as how many drinks the user has taken in total, how many drinks the user has taken that day, and the current number of drinks the user has taken in a row without missing any, and displays them in a stats menu
• An option for the user to indicate that they've taken an extra sip of water outside of the timed reminders
• A dynamic shell and dressup menu built into the main menu
  • Includes options for picking shells and dressups at random
• Encouragement and water facts in the right click menu
• Uses only a single surface, making it easy to create custom shells
• If other ghosts send a communication to Hydrate, Hydrate will return the user's drinking stats, as well as information about what shell and dressups it's currently using
• Automatic update checks for ghost, shell, and balloon

Hydrate has a selection of sounds that can be played to alert the user that it's time to take a drink. Half of the default sounds are based on water, while the other half are various chimes. There is also an option to add a custom sound, which can be any sound file (of a supported type²⁾) that the user wants.

The user may choose no reminder sound, a single reminder sound, or have Hydrate pick a random sound each time it gives a drink reminder. There is also an option to include or exclude the custom sound from the random selection, in case the user has not picked one, or does not want their custom sound in the mix.

The volume of the reminder sound may also be set from this menu. The user may test the volume by clicking on any of the reminder sounds to play them.

Hydrate sends data about its current state and the user's statistics to other open ghosts. This data is available via the notify event OnHydrateStatsNotify. The data includes information such as the number of drinks taken in the current session, the number of drinks taken overall, the current shell and dressups, and more.

This event was added as a part of Hydrate's 2.0.0 overhaul, and takes the place of Hydrate's old communication features which worked via OnCommunicate and an event called OnHydrateGhostStats. The old functions are still present in the code, but are deprecated. It is recommended to use the new event instead.

Hydrate comes bundled with the H2O balloon, which is a small water-themed balloon created for use with Hydrate.
