RELEASE NOTES · JULY 2026

AvClock Is Now on Apple Watch

AvClock has always lived on the screen you already have open — iPhone, iPad, or your Mac's menu bar. Now it's on your wrist too. The Apple Watch companion app brings live airport times and weather to a glance, with five different watch face complications depending on how you actually want to use it.

What's on the watch

Open the app and you get the same core list from iPhone: your saved airports with live local time, synced automatically from your phone — there's nothing to set up separately. Tap any airport for its full detail screen, temperature, and a one-tap link to open it in Apple Maps. An Add Airport button right at the top searches the same worldwide dataset as the main app, so building your watch list doesn't require going back to your phone.

Five complications, not one

Complications are where the watch app earns its place on your wrist, and one size doesn't fit how differently people actually use AvClock:

Favorite Airport — always shows your #1 saved airport's code and live time. Set it once and forget it.

Favorites Rotation — cycles through your whole saved list a slot at a time, so tracking several airports doesn't mean permanently losing the rest to "just open the app."

Weather Forward, Sunrise/Sunset, and Nearby Weather — each surfaces a different slice of the same live data, depending on which one earns a spot on your face.

There's also an AppIntent-configurable complication you can set, once, to always show one specific airport — hold down on your watch face, edit, and pick it from the same list you already saved.

Tap any complication and it opens straight to that specific airport's detail screen — not just the app's main list. The same is true for AvClock's iPhone Lock Screen widget now too. Small thing on paper, but if you check the same one or two airports constantly, skipping the extra tap adds up.

AvClock is reference and informational only, not for actual flight planning or navigation — always use official sources (FAA, NOTAMs, charts, ATC) for that.
