Glimpsy: Smart Complications
Hide battery at your threshold
Free · In‑App Purchases
Stop the clutter. Glimpsy is the smart battery complication for Apple Watch that only appears when you actually need it. Or combine date and battery into one elegant, space-saving slot.
◈ MINIMALIST STYLE. MAXIMALIST UTILITY.
Whether you love the clean look of a classic watch face or want to pack every pixel with data, Glimpsy is your perfect companion. It ensures you never miss a timely recharge without sacrificing the aesthetic or the information you need.
◈ DE-CLUTTER YOUR WRIST
Battery life shouldn't always be in your face. With Glimpsy’s signature "Smart Visibility," you can set a custom threshold (e.g., 30%). Above that level, the battery indicator remains invisible, giving you that clean, traditional look—until your attention is actually required.
◈ SAVE A SLOT: COMBINED COMPLICATIONS
On data-rich watch faces, every spot is precious. Glimpsy’s combined Date & Battery complication gives you the best of both worlds in a single slot. It shows your date by default and only brings in the battery indicator when charge drops below your threshold, effectively saving you a complete spot for another app or data source.
◈ FULLY CUSTOMIZABLE
With the new Style Editor, you can perfectly match Glimpsy to your favorite watch face. Customize font weights and choose independent colors for the date and day/month portions to create a truly integrated look.
