Apps by Nikki is a two-person studio. We build our own apps, and we build them for other people too.

Sip. Tap. Done.
Parched is a simple water tracker. Log a glass with one tap and watch the water rise toward your daily goal, from the app, a Home Screen widget or your Apple Watch.
Gentle reminders fit your day, short articles cite published research, and groups let friends see each other's progress and nudge whoever's falling behind. It works offline, on iPhone and Android.
OUR APP iPhone
Don't rely on one AI. Ask the panel.
One AI can be fluent, persuasive, and wrong. Asking several by hand is tedious, and lining up four chat windows just hands the comparing back to you.
The Panel does the comparing. Each AI answers your question on its own, then you get one verdict: the points they share, where they split, the minority view, and every original answer in full.
CLIENT WORK Website
An online gallery for ELLE and Esquire's Hollywood exhibition.
Built for Osmos.
Hearst Galleries put on a joint exhibition at the Hearst Tower in New York: Hollywood photography from the ELLE and Esquire archives.
The site takes it online. Photographs drift in around the title, then you pick a gallery, browse its wall, and open any picture for its issue, photographer and story.
Nikki has an eye for apps that look great and feel even better, and always wanted a studio of her own. Romeo builds things. The name was her idea, and he's fine with it.
We design and build mobile apps and websites. Some are our own ideas, some are for clients. Either way they get the same fuss over how they look and how they feel.
Between our own apps, we take on freelance and consulting work. If you need one of these built properly, get in touch.
iPhone and Android apps, from the first screen to the app stores.
Websites and web apps, from the first sketch to the day they go live.

Email support@appsbynikki.com, in English or French. We aim to reply within 7 days, in the language you wrote in. Tell us which phone you use (iPhone or Android) and the app version, shown at the bottom of Settings.
In the app, open the group and tap Report a problem at the bottom of its page (if you own the group, you can also choose Report in a member's menu in Manage group). It opens an email with the group's details filled in: add the person's display name and what happened. A screenshot helps. You can also email support@appsbynikki.com directly. We review every report within 7 days, and we may change a name, remove someone from a group, end a group, limit their features, or suspend or close their account (Terms of Use §6).
You can also act straight away:
In the app: open Settings (the avatar at the top of the screen) → Delete account. You'll be asked to sign in again with Apple or Google to confirm.
Without the app: see https://www.appsbynikki.com/parched/delete-account.
Deleting your account doesn't cancel Premium. Cancel it first (below).
Premium is billed by Apple or Google, so you cancel it in their store:
In Parched, Settings → Manage plan opens Your plan; choose Free and tap Confirm to open the store's subscription screen. Cancel at least 24 hours before your renewal date to avoid the next charge. You keep Premium until the end of the period you've paid for. When it ends, the group you own ends for everyone, and History goes back to your last 30 days; your drinks aren't deleted.
Apple and Google handle payments and refunds. Ask Apple at https://reportaproblem.apple.com, or Google through your Google Play order history (https://play.google.com/store/account/orderhistory). Nothing limits a refund your local consumer law gives you.
Make sure you're signed in to the same Parched account you bought it with, then open Settings → Manage plan → Restore purchases. Premium usually turns on within a minute. If it still doesn't, email us.
Sign in on the new phone with the same option (Apple or Google) and the same account you used before. Your drinks are kept in your Parched account, not on the old phone.
Settings → Sync with Apple Health (or Sync with Health Connect). Turning it off stops new entries. Drinks already there stay; you can delete them in the Health app or Health Connect. Parched never reads your health data.
Check that notifications for Parched are allowed in your phone's settings and that Focus or battery saving isn't holding them back. Reminders are scheduled about two days ahead and renewed when you open Parched, so open the app now and then.
Email support@appsbynikki.com from the email address of the Apple or Google account you use with Parched. Our Privacy Policy explains your rights and how long we take to respond.
No. Parched is a general wellness app. It is not a medical device and does not diagnose, treat, cure or prevent any medical condition. Settings says so under its About card: "For general wellness. Not medical advice. Talk to a healthcare professional about your own needs." Drinking too much water can be dangerous. If you have a medical condition, are pregnant or breastfeeding, or take medicines that affect fluid balance, ask your doctor how much to drink. In an emergency, call your local emergency number.
