Playback keeps going when you lower your wrist, and counts toward your streak. • Now Playing — A simple player with artwork, play/pause, 10-second skip back/forward, and a countdown to the end. • Progress — See your streak, your last 7 days, longest streak, and total time. Pull down to refresh. • Prayer & Reflect — Check off prayers and capture a quick reflection by voice or keyboard. • Streak complication — Add it to your watch face to keep your streak in view; it updates in the background as you listen.
