Streaks: The to-do list that helps you form good habits. For iPhone, iPad and Mac.
Mark Gurman, writing at 9to5Mac:
Besides working on allowing developers to build native, full-speed apps for the Apple Watch, Apple is working on allowing third-party watch face “Complications,” according to our source. Complications are the small widgets indicating activity levels, battery life, alarm clocks, upcoming calendar events, and the current temperature on many of Apple’s included Apple Watch clock faces. Our source says that Apple is currently testing a new version of Watch OS that notably includes a set of Twitter Complications. For example, a small Complication could display a count of unread Twitter mentions, while a larger view could show the text of a recent Twitter mention.
Just based on my own gut feeling, third-party complications feel a lot more likely than third-party watch faces.
