BARS is progress you can read: a giant white time over seven full-width progress bars, each in its own colour with an icon, a bold caption and the value, and every bar length is a real fraction of a goal — 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.
By default the bars read steps towards your goal (with the goal printed after the value), battery, Body Battery, stress, active calories towards a goal you set, weekly active minutes towards the weekly goal and heart rate against your maximum. The top line carries the date and the weather with a live condition icon; the bottom line shows today's distance. Seconds can be shown beside the time while the screen is awake.
Each of the seven bars picks from steps, battery, Body Battery, stress, calories, active minutes (week), heart rate, floors, distance, intensity minutes (today) or off. Active calories are estimated as today's total minus the resting share so far, from your profile; the maximum heart rate comes from your heart-rate zones, otherwise 220 minus age. The top-right slot shows weather, temperature, sunrise, sunset or notifications; the bottom slot distance, floors, calories or nothing. Units follow the watch; an unknown value shows -- and an empty bar, never a guess.
Five colour themes: Spectrum, Warm, Cool, Pastel and Mono accent in one of nine colours; each bar position keeps its colour whichever metric it shows. In always-on mode the face shows just the time in grey, or the whole face dimmed. Values are refreshed once a minute, Body Battery, stress and heart-rate history every five.
Free 7-day trial. After that a license key (USD 3.99) is required, available at allezfaces.lemonsqueezy.com.
