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).

About

Eyes Off Timer

Features
Read full description

Eyes Off Timer is an interval timer for Apple Watch, designed for you to start it, put your wrist down, and follow the intervals by haptics alone. Why Eyes Off Timer # Screen-Free by Design You don't need to look at the screen during a run. Every interval boundary is communicated by haptics. Useful when you're stretching, meditating, doing yoga, practicing breath work, or holding a posture — situations where your eyes should be closed or elsewhere. # Consistent Haptic Vocabulary Interval start, interval end, and run end are told apart by the count and length of the haptic burst, not by subtle differences in intensity. Counts and durations survive on the wrist far better than intensity variation, so boundaries are hard to miss. # Automatic Transition Rests Insert a transition rest before every interval by setting a "transition time" on the preset. Useful when you need a few seconds to move into the next posture — the rests don't have to be built as intervals by hand. The screen shows the name of the upcoming interval and a "Ready" label during the transition, and the interval counter (e.g., "2 / 5") counts only the working intervals. Key Features Preset Editor Build presets on the iPhone app as an ordered list of intervals. Each interval has a label and a duration in seconds. Reorder, duplicate, and delete as needed. Interval Runner Pick a preset on the Apple Watch and start it. The current interval name, remaining time, and the interval counter are shown on the screen — but you don't need to look at any of them. Raise your wrist only when you want to check. Transition Time Set a per-preset transition time. Zero means no rests are inserted. Any positive value inserts a rest before every interval (including the first). Simple Data Presets live only on your device. No login. No network required.
