Download Stamina Bar on the App Store #buildinpublic

Releasing a major app update for IRL Health Bar soon, focusing on Widgets, Watch Face complications, and the Smart Stack. Check out this trailer I made using @Artlist_io

Created this Apple Watch advertisement for my IRL Health Bar app. One simple view, health & lifestyle tracking, personalized training.

@andygrammer One of my favorite songs of yours! Really grateful for season of settling into a new city — with some family here too. Recently got a vinyl player with this and good parts album

You don’t always see it at the time, but the tough seasons have a way of shaping the best parts of you. What’s a season you’re grateful for now? Andy Grammer - Wish You Pain (2019) #AndyGrammer #WishYouPain #SteppingStone #BestSelfJourney #PersonalGrowth

@mufasaYC @akira_yamanashi just curious, how you found out that was the issue

@akira_yamanashi I think it’s just the new iOS 26,4 update that explicitly mentions it - to avoid the confusion between encrypted and not encrypted

I land in US and “encrypted” shows up. Was it not encrypted before that? I’m confused.

I made a video explaining how to download the IRL Health bar apps on Apple Watch 🙂

@mufasaYC The app update

@mufasaYC How far in advance did you create the nomination / release the app?

The App Store feature nomination in App Store Connect actually works! I just released the new update, and immediately, it’s listed in the Apps We Love section in 49 countries!

10,000 downloads on an Apple Watch app🔥 irlhealthbar.com/download.html

@MaxxChewning Hey Maxx, big fan of yours from ATX. When you were building your sour candy business was your plan always to exit to a large company? How did you decide what the long term play was and stay motivated to see it out? Stay beastly!!

Ask a guy who sold over $80 million dollars of candy in 5 years with no partners or investments, and then got acquired by Hershey anything 🙂‍↕️

@louisagareiss Agreed. I’m fulfilled building for watchOS though! From my experience, pushing to TestFlight (approved builds) can be faster than direct builds from Xcode. Plugging in your phone sometimes help.

Developing for Apple Watch is a frustrating process because of Xcode and the constant handshake issues.

@SebastianRoehl No problem! The watchOS companion app looks great

Today I learned that you have to upload App Store screenshots for the Apple Watch app as well 😅

@SebastianRoehl From my 3+ yrs of experience developing specifically for watchOS I’ve had exponentially more success by using app screenshot rather than device bezels. The size of Apple Watch screenshots are already small/hard to see and you can’t zoom in on the App Store.

IRL Health Bar on the App Store simplifies your health into a gamified health bar. Track your health stats and share your health bar everywhere you go. irlhealthbar.com/download.html #AppleWatch #HealthFitnessTech #SmartTraining #RecoveryMatters

Lots of new users in January 2026! About 2K downloads until the 10,000 mark

Congratulations! Incredible hire for Apple! Now if more such indies worked at Apple, we could potentially create the impact we’ve always desired (they need to relax their app policies for employees for this to happen)

@Jchammond_ Absolutely! Let me know if you have questions/feedback about the ping pong game or want to try multiplayer with me

@bryce_ellis99 Okay sick! Thanks Bryce

What are everyone’s favorite Vision Pro apps?

@Jchammond_ Try out ping pong club!
