HockeyTracker lets you record a full workout, from start to finish, without a phone. *HockeyTracker uses a proprietary shift tracking algorithm that is able to detect whether a place is on the ice or on the bench.  **Note that in order to calculate VO2Max, HockeyTracker uses your resting heart rate (as is set by Apple during period of inactivity). Series 0 Apple Watches are not capable of resting heart rates therefore VO2Max cannot be calculated at this time on Series 0 Watches. Notes: • HockeyTracker requires an Apple Watch to collect the data it displays • HockeyTrack integrates with the Health App on your iPhone to retrieve the data it displays. It will request permission to access the relevant data types associated with a workout.

Uqbar identifies tension patterns and shifts from a person's usual behavior in video and voice — entirely on your device. WHAT IT MEASURES - Video signals: blinking, facial movement, gaze, lip compression, brow, head stability - Voice signals: pauses, hesitation, rhythm, volume shifts, false starts - Repetitive nervous patterns THREE MODES - Full analysis: record or upload any video with a visible face and get 19 behavioral signals with a clear 0-100 tension score - Comparison: two videos of the same person, side by side, to spot changes from their usual behavior - Live analysis: a real-time read while filming, with fewer signals and nothing recorded unless you choose to keep it PRIVATE BY DESIGN All analysis is processed locally on your iPhone using Apple's on-device frameworks. No accounts, no ads. Your videos, audio, and results never leave your device, and you can erase all history at any time. We only measure basic app usage (installs and purchases) to run our own advertising — never your videos or results. WHAT UQBAR IS NOT Uqbar is an experimental observation tool. It is not a lie detector, not evidence, and not a medical or psychological device. A change in behavior can mean many things — stress, tiredness, thinking harder, or nothing at all. It describes observable behavior only and cannot establish truthfulness or intent. Free daily allowance included. Extra use via credit packs or an optional Uqbar Pro subscription (monthly or yearly), with prices shown in the app. Subscriptions renew automatically until canceled in your App Store settings.
