Uninterrupted periodic nudge alarm app - watch only app Once you set timer, it chimes with intervals of set time. It works even on the background. You can check out the set time on the complications. You can set number of repeats, the process of chimer times on the complications. when there is no number of repeats set, chimer goes infinitely. โข Please read the p.s. on description. because of Apple policies, I couldn't set them up in a comfy way by default. โข This app can't be used with Workout/Activity app since an Apple watch can have only one Work Session at the same time. p.s. In case you don't like Chimer app opens on wrist raise, go to watch's settings -> General -> return to clock -> Chimer -> select customize and select always on "while not in session" then it won't pop up on wrist raise. It's unable to be turned off by default by Apple. p.s. 2 Since this is an Apple watch only app, you can't install it on your iPhone's App store app. Please install this app through App store app on your apple watch. This is how Apple set up for its every watch stand-alone app
Habit Grid

Habit Grid turns showing up into something you can see. Every habit gets its own contribution grid โ one square per day, filling in as you go. A week of effort is a sentence. A year is a picture you can't argue with. TRACK WHAT ACTUALLY MATCHES THE HABIT โข Yes / No โ exercise, journaling, anything that's simply done or not โข Number โ 30 pages, 8 glasses, 50 push-ups. Going past your target still counts โข Duration โ a built-in timer for meditation, study or practice LOG IT IN ONE TAP Today shows exactly what's scheduled, with the right control on every card: a tick, a "+10", or a timer. Swipe one way to complete, the other to take a rest day. Nothing waits on a network, because there isn't one โ every tap lands instantly, and every accidental one can be undone. STREAKS THAT UNDERSTAND REST Schedule a habit for weekdays and the weekend never counts against you. Take a day off on purpose โ ill, travelling, genuinely resting โ and it's marked as skipped and removed from your statistics entirely, instead of breaking a streak you'd earned. Habit density shows how consistent you've really been on the days that were meant to happen. ON YOUR WRIST The Apple Watch app shows everything due today and logs it in one tap, with eight weeks of your grid on every habit. Complications put today's progress, or a single habit's streak, on your watch face. It keeps working when your phone is out of range and catches up when it's back. WIDGETS THAT LOG Home Screen and Lock Screen widgets show your grid, today's progress and your streaks โ and log a habit without opening the app. PRIVATE BY DESIGN No account. No sign-in. No server. No analytics or advertising SDKs of any kind โ there are no third-party libraries in this app at all. Your habits live on your device and work entirely offline. The only network request Habit Grid can make is to the App Store, when you buy something. FREE โข Two active habits, with full tracking, streaks and history โข The Classic Green grid โข Daily reminders HABIT GRID PRO โข Unlimited habits โข Ten more hand-tuned grid palettes โข Home Screen, Lock Screen and interactive widgets โข Face ID lock โข CSV and JSON export, and backup restore โข Long-range trends and per-habit performance Archiving a habit keeps its grid, streaks and history โ and archived habits never count towards the free limit. Keeping your past costs nothing. Built entirely with Apple's own frameworks, for iPhone and Apple Watch.
