With the Apple Watch Series 8 and the Ultra Apple introduced a new temperature sensor, which may be used to track the temperature at your wrist. While you're sleeping with the watch, it measures the temperature every few seconds and starts tracking your body temperature.
Sadly that data can only be found within the health app – a handy widget showing these stats on your homescreen is missing. And that's where Wristy comes into place! The app reads that data from HealthKit and offers you three different sizes of a widget. So you can keep an eye on your temperature at all times and get a quick picture in the morning.
The app has been developed in Swift and uses SwiftUI as well as Swift Charts, which has been introduced with iOS 16. By using these rather new frameworks I've been able to develop my idea and publish it to the app store quickly.
Wristy show the temperature at your wrist as widget on your homescreen!
NOTICE: This data is only gathered if you wear an Apple Watch Series 8 or Ultra while sleeping. If you don't have such data yet the widgets will show you a random preview of their functionality.
The app allows you to authorize the data from HealthKit and shows it as a small, medium or large widget on your homescreen. It is kept plain and simple by design and includes only the most necessary things.
In the near future I plan to add other data but the temperature at your wrist from HealthKit into the app to make even more widgets possible – but first things first.
The app as well as the widgets fully support darkmode and are available in english and german.
