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:

@_Davidsmith I really enjoy these videos, and I've thought about recording some of my own either to publish or just to refer back to later. Do you use any special apps or tools to capture them, keep out notifications, etc.?

@Timschmitz It’s just QuickTime doing a windowed capture, with the window size set to 1920x1080. Then I turn on do not disturb and close all the apps I’m not using. Edited in Davinci Resolve, to retime and add the timer.
