• Muse Now focuses on the week ahead by answering two simple questions: 1) What should I focus on next and 2) What will happen between now and then • How does it work? We combine your calendar and reminders into a countdown timer. It is the perfect companion to your Apple Watch: just lift your wrist to focus on what's next. • Don't have an Apple Watch, yet? Muse Now also works on your iPhone and iPad. To open, just tell Siri "open muse now" create a Siri Shortcut to custom views like "show work" or "show home". With iPad, setup Muse Now as a Slide Over. Simply slide on from the right to see what's next and then slide off. Slide on. Slide off. Slide on Slide off. • Do you have an original Apple Watch? Muse Now will work on that collectable Series 0 watch. While, it won't support the beautiful full color complications, it still runs well. So, go ahead; rock that original Edition at your next "classic" rally. • Here is our guarantee: You own your own data, which only you can see. While we do measure usage, we never have access to your personal timeline and we never will.
