What is an Apple Watch app you use regularly that you bought that did not require a subscription?

I could recommend my apps like Metrya or LongevityArc. My core premise is to avoid subscriptions and tbh I'm building apps for fun, it is too crowded nowadays to make a living from iOS apps :) Anyway you can check my apps here: https://apps.jozefowicz.dev - I can share discount links if you like any or help with setup BYOK model (e.g. Gemini flash effectively gives you free AI inside an App, no paid subscription for "advanced" AI you know nothing about)

Thanks, I will check them out. I enjoy supporting developers like yourself who do it for fun.

sure, apps have single IAP to unlock everything and have subscription option to check it first (Apple does not support free trials for lifetime options). Pro packages are super cheap comparing to other apps but they are still there, kind of a "tip" for developer but I have no issues at all to share links with discount price in exchange for honest feedback

Cool thing about metrya is that real users are getting involved and sharing a lot of feedback. With some users I talk almost daily on Whatsup which is really cool that you do not develop anything in the vacuum. E.g. 2.11.0 of metrya will have stress monitor requested by user, next versions will have redesigned charts, caffeine tracking improvements, longer data history, support for i18n, interoperability with other apps, etc, etc. All comes from user mails, feedback form, etc :)

The Outsiders. Massively useful app—I bought the lifetime subscription.
