AutoSleep is our favorite app for adding sleep tracking to the Apple Watch.


  1. AUTOSLEEP
    Price: £3.99 from fave.co/3pnTBi3


Apple finally added sleep tracking to
watchOS 7, but it’s a little lacklustre. It
only works during specific designated
Sleep Mode hours, and it doesn’t give
you much insight into the quality of
your sleep. Fortunately, better sleep
tracking is not hard to add with an app
like AutoSleep, Sleep Watch, Sleep++
or Pillow. There are several good
sleep-tracking apps to choose from,
but most require either a substantial
in-app purchase to make proper use
of, or a subscription that can add up.
That’s one reason we like
AutoSleep. Not only does it work well
and give you lots of great data, it’s just
one upfront (and reasonable) price.
No hidden upgrade in-app purchases,

no subscriptions, no ads. Just four
pounds to add quality sleep automatic
sleep tracking to your Apple Watch.


  1. CARROT WEATHER
    Price: £4.99 (in-app purchases) from
    fave.co/3hdMO7U


There are plenty of good weather
apps – many of which support Apple
Watch – but Carrot Weather may be
our favourite. It combines excellent
weather forecasting (with data from
Weather Underground or Dark Sky),
lots of customization, and even
achievements. The sarcastic robot
voice helps make weather fun.
Apple Watch support is especially
robust, with several different
complications available and the
ability to customize them in the app.
