Party Mode

PHOTOSENSITIVITY WARNING Turn your watch into the smallest light rig at the party. PartyMode fills the whole screen with a new vivid color on every beat, in time with whatever is actually playing. Tap START along with the track for a few beats and the strobe locks to your tempo. Press UP or DOWN to snap to a round BPM instead. Then hold your wrist up, or stand the watch on the table, and let it run. This app is free but a tip is appreciated: https://ko-fi.com/tinofunrun FOUR ANIMATED EFFECTS Rays - alternating spokes in the beat color and its complement, turning steadily. Tunnel - rings marching outward forever, an infinite zoom. Ripple - a ring launched from the center on every single beat. The one that most obviously reads as being in time with the music. Kaleidoscope - a full spectrum pinwheel over a counter-rotating heart that swells on the downbeat. Or leave effects off for a clean, full-screen color strobe. CONTROLS START - tap along with the music to set the tempo UP / DOWN - step the tempo, 60 to 480 BPM MENU - choose an effect BACK - exit On touchscreen devices the same actions are available by tap and swipe. BUILT FOR A WATCH, NOT A PHONE Every effect is driven by the clock rather than by a frame counter, so a slower watch shows the same animation more coarsely instead of running it slower. A fenix and a Forerunner 55 stay locked to the same track. Colors are picked as random hues at full saturation, never as random RGB, so nothing ever comes out muddy or gray - including on memory-in-pixel displays. The screen stays lit for as long as the app is running, on memory-in-pixel and AMOLED alike. Your tempo and your chosen effect are remembered for next time. No sensors, no permissions, no account, no internet connection. PartyMode collects nothing and sends nothing. PHOTOSENSITIVITY WARNING PartyMode produces rapidly flashing light and high-contrast color changes. A small number of people may experience seizures or blackouts when exposed to flashing light patterns. Do not use this app if you, or anyone who can see the screen, has a history of epilepsy or photosensitive seizures. Stop immediately if you feel dizzy, disoriented, or notice any altered vision. Keeping the display lit and animating uses far more battery than normal watch use. It is a party app, not an all-day one.
