Before I found an app that could make Wallet passes for my store cards, I used this page to have the QR/barcodes only a swipe away on my lock screen.

Took screenshots from the store's apps, added them to individual albums and then added the Photos widget, selecting the album per widget.

You could also stack them to be able to just swipe between the codes. This may even work better to avoid scanning the code next to the one you meant to scan.

I basically follow two "rules" when I use my bands which are based on how I saw the original bands in Apple's product photos used them early on.

For bands like the regular sport bands and similar with one short and one long piece, the short piece always goes on top.

For bands that folds around the connector like the Alpine Loop does, I have the fold at the bottom. I remember initially wearing the folds in the top, but changed it after seeing the Milanese loop images. Now I think this feels and looks beter with most bands.

This is how I prefer it anyways, but it's really just a matter of preference honestly. I just like to have a set way of wearing all my bands consistently haha.

I know it's not ideal and Siri should be able to tell you or something, but you can open Find My on your watch and see a battery icon on all your devices. No specific percentage though, but it might just help our lazy asses when the phone is charging aaaaall the way over there.

I've had my watches set to muted since my first day with the Series 0. I legitimately didn't realize until your comment that the watch has ringtones or notifications sounds.

May I ask why you would want to have sound on the watch just like your phone does? To me, that's like half the point almost. To get notified without any sound at all.

Autosleep does both these things and has a non-subscription based payment.

Or at least almost, their alarm wakes you when you're in your lightest sleep stage possible during a set period of time and before your set wake-up time.

Example: I have to get up before 6:45 in the morning and I'm fine with waking up within 30 minutes before that, so between 6:15 and 6:45 Autosleep will try to start tapping my wrist gently by vibrations when it figures I'm in my lightest sleep stage during these 30 minutes.

I usually combine this alarm with a normal backup 5 minutes later and also use my ceiling lights as a gradual wake-up light. Most of the time I feel like I've woken up by myself.

For better fitness app/tracking, purchase WorkOutDoors. Legitimately the best app out there with a dedicated developer and a one-time purchase instead of subscription which is rare these days.

I don't really get how this is a problem since there's pretty simple solution.

Just set your goals to what you want to have as a minimum on an off-day, then on the days you work out you aim for the 200%, 300% or maybe even 400% award.

Mine is set to something achievable even on my off days, but not so low that I'll achieve my goal by laying on the couch all day. Simply because I want to at least move a certain amount even though I'm not working out.
