Duffy vs Chickadee Quiet

Duffy provides quick access to your step count directly on your Apple Watch face as a complication. I was surprised to find that a steps complication wasn’t included on Apple Watches out of the box. Being a veteran iOS developer, I decided to build one in my spare time. I really loved my prototype version and thought there were more people who would love it too. So I put in the extra effort to release it to the App Store for everyone! Duffy is completely free, has no ads, and is even open source so if you’re also a developer, you can help me enhance it. Duffy is a simple app, but it will probably turn into the most used app on your Apple Watch. No more opening the Activity app and scrolling around to find your steps. It’s now available at a glance. Duffy is more than just an elegant Apple Watch complication. Use the full watch app for easy access to your steps, flights climbed and distance travelled for today and the past week. Set a daily steps goal and be notified on your watch when you reach it. The companion iPhone app provides the same access to your steps, flights and distance on a much larger, easier-to-read surface while also allowing you to dig deeper into your data to see trends and statistics over time. Duffy reads the steps, flights climbed, distance travelled, and activity energy from your iPhone and Apple Watch from the Health app (via the HealthKit API).

Make quiet time something everyone actually wants to do. Chickadee Quiet turns calm-down time into a simple, friendly challenge. Start a session and the app listens to the room, showing a live noise meter from 0 to 100. Keep it low and quiet, and you finish with a great score. It's rest time, homework time, nap time, and "please, just five quiet minutes" — reimagined as a game. How it works • Start a session and set a timer • Watch the noise meter respond to the room in real time • Stay under the line to keep your score high • Finish with a grade — Excellent, Good, Fair, or a noisy oops — plus your average noise level and number of loud moments Practice on your own Not ready for the real thing? Run a local Practice session anytime. Choose 5, 10, 15, or 20 minutes and see how calm you can keep it. Practice runs stay entirely on your device and are never recorded or uploaded. Built for households Chickadee Quiet works with your Chickadee Bandit account, so the whole family can join quiet-time sessions together. When a session starts, you'll get a notification to hop in. Private by design The microphone is used only to measure how loud the room is — never to record. No audio is saved, and practice sessions send nothing to any server. We measure the noise, not the words. Great for • Rest time and nap time • Homework and focus blocks • Calm-down moments and mindful breaks • Classrooms and quiet-time routines • Anyone who could use a few peaceful minutes Download Chickadee Quiet and see how quiet your crew can be.
