Calendar + Photo + Face = Calphace! Calphace is an application that generates a composite image of a calendar on a photo of your choice and sets it on the photos watch face of your Apple Watch. There are times when you just want to easily check your calendar on your Apple Watch! Some calendar apps allow you to check your calendar, but it takes several taps. In such cases, if you set the image generated by Calphace as a photos watch face, you can check the calendar just by lifting your wrist. *Calphace does not display a calendar with complications, but only generates a composite image of a calendar,  so it is not possible to check the schedule, etc. entered with the iPhone calendar application.
