What's New in Glimpsy

3.4.0

November 5, 2026

Version 3.4 brings another batch of new features and improvements: ◈ iPhone Duo support: use the full width of the unfolded phone to show the Style Editor right next to the style list, so browsing and configuring complication styles gets even easier. ◈ Sample library: every complication family now offers plenty of sample configurations as inspiration. Pick one you like and use it as a starting point for further tweaks in the Style Editor. ◈ New date formats: month/year, and zero-padded dates (03/02/2026). ◈ Percentage-only display: optionally show just the charge percentage without the battery icon, with an optional bolt symbol in front to mark it as a charging value. ◈ New rectangular options: gauges and stacked dates. ◈ Shorter dates for inline and corner complications: to make room when the date is shown together with the battery, the date can optionally be shortened.

Great app that’s well designed

Love this tiny app that combines two important features. One time charge and many configuration options make this a must have.

👍

Auf der Apple Watch Series 6 (fast) unverzichtbar, da der Akku schon ein bisschen schwach ist. Ich finde es ästhetisch sinnvoll, wenn man nur dann die Akkuanzeige sieht, wenn die Uhr geladen werden muss

Gute Sache!

Gute Idee, gelungene Umsetzung.

Simple design

It’s a pretty cool app, knows when to shop up with battery & you can add photos with the date. I think it’s really cool! Looking forward for more updates with hopefully more things we could add besides battery & date!

FAQ

How does Glimpsy's smart visibility work?

Glimpsy's Smart Visibility allows you to set a custom battery percentage threshold (e.g., 30%). The battery indicator will automatically hide when your battery is above this level, and reappear when it drops below, ensuring a cleaner watch face until you need to recharge.

Can Glimpsy save complication slots on my watch face?

Yes, Glimpsy offers a Combined Date & Battery complication. This feature displays your date by default and only shows the battery indicator when it falls below your set threshold, effectively freeing up a complication slot for other data.

How can I customize Glimpsy's appearance?

The Style Editor in Glimpsy lets you fully customize its look. You can adjust font weights and select independent colors for the date and day/month portions to perfectly match your Apple Watch face.

Is Glimpsy available on iPhone?

Yes, version 2.0 introduced an iPhone companion app. This allows you to manage all your Glimpsy settings on a larger screen, with changes instantly mirrored to your Apple Watch.

What is the pricing for Glimpsy?

Glimpsy offers a 7-day free trial with full features. After the trial, you can unlock a Permanent License with a one-time fee, and there are no subscriptions required.

No, Glimpsy does not contain advertisements. The app is designed to be ad-free, focusing on providing a clean user experience.

Glimpsy provides Universal Support, meaning it is compatible with all complication families, including Circular, Corner, Inline, and Rectangular.
