ALMANAC sets your day in print: a cream paper page with a big serif time, the sun, weather and moon of the day in a header row and eight tabulated data cells — free for 7 days, then a one-time license key (USD 3.99). If you like it, a ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ review helps a small developer a lot.
The page reads top to bottom like an almanac. A letter-spaced date line (SUNDAY · 25 OCTOBER · WEEK 43, the weekday in rubric red on Sundays) sits above three almanac slots that show sunrise, the current weather with its condition and sunset by default; a small moon disc shows tonight's phase. The time is set in Cormorant Garamond, black ink on paper, with optional small seconds while the screen is awake. Under a heavy rule with red end marks, eight cells in two rows carry steps, heart rate, Body Battery, battery, calories, distance, floors and stress, separated by hairlines, and a printed progress bar at the foot fills in red towards your step goal.
Every slot is configurable. The three header slots choose from sunrise, sunset, weather, moon phase (lit percentage), week number, pressure, high/low temperature or off; the eight cells from steps, heart rate, Body Battery, battery, calories, distance, floors, stress, intensity minutes, altitude, temperature, notifications or off; the bar from steps, weekly intensity minutes, floors or off. Sunrise and sunset use the weather position, your last activity or GPS position or the last fix saved on the watch, with a local calculation when the forecast has no times. Units follow the watch (km/mi, °C/°F, m/ft); anything the watch does not have is printed as --, never invented.
Five paper themes: Cream paper, White paper, Newsprint grey, Night edition (black page, ivory ink — the AMOLED-friendly one) and Blue ink. The double hairline page border on the rim can be switched off. In always-on mode the page goes black and shows the date line and an outlined time, or the whole page dimmed if you prefer. Data is refreshed once a minute.
Free 7-day trial. After that a license key (USD 3.99) is required, available at allezfaces.lemonsqueezy.com.
