Read full description

BaroNote is a simple barometer and personal log. Check the current air pressure, see whether it is rising, steady, or falling, and save a quick private note about your mood and condition. In History, BaroNote places the available six-hour pressure movement beside your log without judging the cause or making a forecast. Features: - Current air pressure from the iPhone pressure sensor when available - Rising, steady, and falling trend display - Mood, condition, symptom tags, and optional notes - History with the available six-hour pressure movement - Optional Health link for matching condition and mood records - hPa, mb, inHg, and mmHg units - Home Screen and Lock Screen widgets - No account, tracking, ads, or server upload Health linking is optional and off by default. BaroNote writes headache and fatigue, plus mood on iOS 18 or later. It does not read Health data. Sleepiness, low focus, stiff shoulders, pressure, and notes are not written to Health. Your BaroNote records stay on this device. BaroNote is for personal logging only and does not provide medical advice, diagnosis, treatment, or forecasts.

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.
