About

WatchBarometer

Read full description

WatchBarometer turns air pressure into useful context on iPhone and Apple Watch. Highlights: - current sensor pressure or sea-level-normalized pressure - short-term weather trend from pressure changes - pressure history from six hours to the complete timeline - comparison of raw and altitude-aware sea-level pressure - GPS altitude history with optional barometer refinement - focused measurement sessions - widgets, Live Activity, and Apple Watch complications WatchBarometer uses the device's running barometer stream, GPS altitude for sea-level context, and read-only HealthKit samples only when Apple already includes barometric pressure metadata. Important: - high- and low-pressure classifications use compensated sea-level pressure only - raw sensor pressure is not misleadingly classified across different elevations Built for weather watchers, hikers, and anyone who wants to understand pressure, trend, and altitude instead of seeing just one number.

Feature Highlights Dual‑display Barometer & Altimeter All‑in‑One ‑ Shows real‑time barometric pressure and altitude simultaneously, no need to switch between multiple apps. ‑ Dual pressure readout: raw sensor value from Apple Watch and ISA standard pressure calculated by altitude. Ripple background animation visualizes pressure level intuitively. ‑ Displays weather symbol alerts when rapid short‑term barometric changes suggest possible weather shifts (for reference only). ‑ Merges Watch‑built‑in altitude and GPS altitude. Fine pressure variations dynamically calibrate altitude for higher precision. ‑ Records pressure & altitude changes, visualized with numbers and scales. Long‑tap the change value to reset. ‑ Auto‑calibration triggers when deviation against system altitude becomes large, balancing overall accuracy and sensitivity to subtle variations. ‑ Tap pressure value to toggle units: hPa, inHg, mmHg. Altitude supports meters / feet. Rich Watch Face Complications ‑ Circular complications for pressure and altitude for quick glance. ‑ Stack‑able rectangular complication tracks 24‑hour pressure‑altitude trends with current readings. Keep it on watch face to enable continuous logging.
