About

A tiny terminal on your wrist. Everything on this face is made of characters — including the time. greenphosphor renders your watch as a shell session in a monospaced grid: a prompt up top, the date as output, the time as hand-tuned FIGlet ASCII art, your metrics as [####...] progress bars, and a blinking cursor at the bottom. No images, no widgets — just text, the way terminals intended. MAKE IT YOURS • Three progress bars — pick from Steps, Intensity Minutes, Body Battery, Floors, Watch Battery and Pulse Ox (only metrics where a progress bar actually means something) • Two compact readouts below the bars — any of eighteen metrics: heart rate, calories, resting HR, VO2 max, recovery time, respiration, pulse ox, altitude, battery days, sunrise, sunset and a "next sun event" that shows whichever comes next • Four phosphors: Green (the classic), Amber, Paper and Ice • Everything above is changeable right on the watch (hold the face → customize) — no phone needed; the same settings are also in Garmin Connect ALSO • 12 h and 24 h clock, following your device setting • Extremely battery-friendly always-on display: just the dim ASCII time, with burn-in protection (about 1.5% of pixels lit) • Works fully offline — no phone, no account, nothing leaves your watch • Permissions: sensor history reads Body Battery, pulse ox and altitude; user profile reads resting HR and VO2 max — nothing leaves the watch PRO Version with with more features and customizability is coming soon!

What's new

Fixed: the date now displays correctly on watches set to any language. Fixes a crash on vivoactive 5 and vivoactive 6 (face showed only the IQ logo). Floors shows '--' on watches without a barometer.
