Unverzichtbar

Glimpsy ist eine unfassbar gute App. Endlich super Akku Informationen kombiniert mit Datum und noch mehr.

Hier lohnt sich wirklich jeder Cent!

Coole Idee

Gelesen und gekauft. Gute Ideen muss man unterstützen.
Nach ein paar Tagen der Nutzung habe ich die Änderung wieder rückgängig gemacht. Die ‚normale‘ Funktion der Akkuanzeige erlaubt bei Antippen den Stromsparmodus zu aktivieren. Dank der Rückmeldung vom Entwickler weiß ich jetzt wieso dies für die App nicht möglich ist. Den Stromsparmodus einzuschalten ist für mich aber wichtiger als das Symbol zu verstecken. Trotzdem eine schöne App und 5 Sterne wert.

Response from developer

Hallo, eine Komplikation kann nur seine eigene „Mutteranwendung“ starten, d.h. Glimpsy. Das ist technisch so festgelegt und kann nicht geändert werden. Die systemeigene Akkuanzeige springt dementsprechend zu den Batteriefunktionen, wo Sie auch Stromsparmodus einschalten können — dafür kann diese aber nicht oberhalb eines Schwellenwertes ausgeblendet werden oder eben all die anderen Dinge in einer Komplikation vereinen (Amulett, Insignien, Datum). Um den Stromsparmodus dennoch schnell einzuschalten, drücken Sie einfach auf die Seitentaste und klicken im Kontroll-Center auf die Batteriestandsanzeige. Dort können Sie dann direkt den Stromsparmodus einschalten — das ist dann nur der eine Klick auf die Seitentaste zusätzlich.

Wunderschön

Einfach wunderschön, elegant, schlicht. Jetzt weiß ich erst was fehlte.
Und der App Support ist mehr als vorbildlich.

Großartige kleine App

Eine tolle kleine App, die das Zifferblatt der Watch minimalistisch aufwertet. Und das für sehr kleines Geld. Außerdem ein sehr freundlicher Entwickler, der sofort Fragen beantwortet.

Top!

Die App braucht keine vielen Worten. Macht genau das, was sie soll, sieht gut aus und ist jeden Cent wert.

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.
