EPWatch
App displaying the current electricity price,
with widgets for Apple Watch, iPhone and iPad.
EPWatch is an open source app that allows you to see the current electricity price on your Apple Watch, iPhone and iPad.
I created this app mainly for the Apple Watch, as I wanted such an app for myself and couldn't find one at the time. I added iPhone/iPad support because it was easy and I wanted try out the new iOS 16 lock screen widgets.
