Five sentences
WatchieBesti is a digital pet for Apple Watch that gets you moving because you want it to feel good. It starts as an egg and grows through baby, young and adult stages as your activity becomes a habit, then graduates into your permanent kingdom, so every pet you raise stays with you. Your health data is yours. We never see it. WatchieBesti reads step count from Apple Health, plus heart rate, resting heart rate, active energy and workouts when an Apple Watch has recorded them. Only your pet, including daily step totals, syncs across your devices through your private iCloud, with no separate account. The pet never dies or punishes a quiet day; the worst it gets is a peaceful nap, and it only sends a notification when it needs you. It's free to download with no ads and no subscription, and optional one-time purchases unlock more kingdoms, shared through Family Sharing.
About the developer
WatchieBesti is designed and built by Michael Robinson, an independent developer. He made it for his daughter, and the rest of the family joined in: "My wife hasn't missed a streak since launch."
The pet never dies and never punishes a day off. The worst it gets is a peaceful nap.
