You can check the battery status of your phone and watch with your watch. Compatible with complications (automatic update). You can check the charging amount and charging status of the phone in a timely manner from the clock face. We will notify you by a notification when the charge amount of the phone or watch becomes less than the specified% or becomes full charge. The graph also displays the change in charge level for your phone and watch. - Set up complications with the watch app on your watch or phone. - The battery status displayed in the complication is automatically updated approximately every 12 to 60 minutes. The reason why the update interval has a range is that it depends on Watch OS. If the automatic update has stopped (for example, there is no update for more than 1.5 hour), tap the complication to restart it. In the iPhone app, the latest update time is displayed under the watch's charge status display. - Tap the complication to update to the latest status. - A circular complication can be assigned to the outer circle and the inner number to indicate the battery level of the phone and watch, respectively. -- I am a Japanese developer.

Ian's Awesome Counter is a utility designed to help you be more focused and aware of yourself. My son, Ian, can sometimes have difficulty with regulation and management of his attention. We’ve tried several different strategies for helping him with this. One of the strategies that we found most successful was giving him regular prompts throughout the day and ask whether he thought he was on task and staying focused. Initially this took the form of a repeating countdown timer and a hand clicker, but after a while this became rather onerous to keep up with, so instead he and I worked together to design an Apple Watch app that would make this easier to do. The result is this app. You configure how often you want to be prompted, when the prompts should begin and end each day, and what your goal for successful periods is. Then Ian’s Awesome Counter does the rest. If you turn on notifications you’ll get an alert at the end of every period asking how you did and the values are recorded in the app. You can see your last week’s performance in the History view. This app is provided completely free of charge. I’ve found it really helpful for my family and my hope is that by sharing it, other families will find similar help from it. It can be worn either by the person working on their focus or by a parent/carer who can then relay the prompts.
