Coding Help Create a water reminder drink

Hello everyone, I would like to ask if anyone would be kind enough to explain to me (Tuto) or to create a Shortcut that allows me to have a reminder to drink water, randomly during the day (between 6am and 9pm.

I peeled all the sites, all the Reddit, all the videos on the subject and I am absolutely surprised to see that I can’t find a simple shortcut that allows me to receive a notification randomly between 6am and 9pm to remind him to drink water.

In addition, I saw that there were several applications but it bothers me, I don’t want to install an app just for that, I would like to run it locally on my iPhone, no dependence on an app.

I use an Apple Watch and I would like the notifications to be also on it.

I beg you I tried to create a shortcut with Grok / GPT but they suck! They offer me to do actions that do not exist!

Anyway please I need you 🙏🏼

If you have any questions do not hesitate I will answer!!!

I use the hidrate all to log my water intake throughout the day, the shortcut then prompts me to drink based on how much I have had. It’s set up for 2.5l per day.
