Most Bitcoin complications on Apple Watch are stale by the time you glance at them — and the ones that aren't will charge you a monthly fee just to stay current. TapBTC is different. Tap the complication. That's it. No app opens, no loading screen — the price fetches instantly in the background and your complication updates in seconds. Works on all four Apple Watch complication slots: circular, rectangular, inline, and corner. Already running on the fastest free refresh schedule Apple allows — complications update automatically every 15 minutes without you touching anything. Most other apps don't even come close. Features: Tap any complication to silently refresh the price Auto-refreshes at Apple's maximum allowed rate iPhone app shows live price, 24h high/low, all-time high, and current block height Home screen and lock screen widgets included No subscription. No ads. One-time purchase. Built for people who actually check Bitcoin on their wrist.
