Workout Live is a simple iOS app to view live workout data (heart rate, calories) from Apple Watch.

No ads, no profile tracking, no registration and completely free.

I just wanted to watch my heart rate on the phone screen while doing the workout. There are some apps which can do it but with subscription and too many features I don’t need. The best case would be that the built-in Apple Fitness app has this feature, but it hasn’t. So, I decided to spend my weekend writing this app. I use it just during workout. For analysis or viewing histories, I use the built-in Health or Fitness app.

I love the simplicity. I wish there were more simple powerful apps that respected the user. The app is only 456.8 KB! Well done!
