Hearts: Never Forget Valentine's Day Again
I always forget Valentine's Day — so I built a reminder into my watchface. Hearts grows with your step goal and shows heart rate, battery, and a subtle nudge to buy flowers.
Day 4: Hearts Watchface
"I always forget Valentine's Day. So I created a reminder… on my wrist."
Before I built Hearts, I was the person who remembered Valentine's Day at 6pm on February 14th and panicked. The Hearts watchface was my solution to this universal problem.
How it works
Hearts is a watchface where the hearts on screen grow as you progress towards your step goal. The more you move, the more full and vibrant the hearts become. Hit your goal — full hearts.
It shows:
- Time and date
- Step goal progress (via growing hearts)
- Heart rate (in BPM)
- Battery level
Share it with your partner
One of the fun use cases: install it on both your watch and your partner's. You can both track goals with matching watchfaces — a small shared ritual that beats forgetting anniversaries.
