Recently I’ve been doing heart rate based workouts. I went looking for an app to display my current Watch heart rate on my iPhone but couldn’t find one, so of course I had to make one (not as a product, just for me).

The design for this was really interesting, I wanted to visually reference the watchOS 9 heart tracking but in a way which worked at iPhone size. I recorded my design process as one of my ‘design speedrun' videos:

Speedrun Design: Heart Rate Zone View in SwiftUI

@_Davidsmith I’ve been using the zones screen, with alerts when going out of zone two. But… I can’t find an simple app that shows am I meeting exercise goals? They recommend 150-300 low intensity minutes a week, or 75 high intensity. There’s not an easy way to see that.
