FAQ

Where do I find my Beeminder API key?

Log in to Beeminder, go to Settings → Account, and scroll down to find your Auth Token. Copy this value and paste it into BeeWatch settings.

Does BeeWatch work without my iPhone nearby?

Yes! Once configured, BeeWatch works completely independently on your Apple Watch. It connects directly to Beeminder's servers over WiFi or cellular (if your watch supports it).

What do the colors mean?

Red = Derailing today (act now!)
Orange = Derailing tomorrow
Blue = Due within 3 days
Green = Safe (more than 3 days buffer)

How do I add a complication to my watch face?

Long-press on your watch face, tap "Edit", swipe to the complications page, tap a complication slot, and select "BeeWatch" from the list.

Is my data secure?

Yes. Your API key is stored in the iOS Keychain (the same secure storage used for passwords). All communication with Beeminder uses HTTPS encryption.

Can I use BeeWatch with multiple Beeminder accounts?

Currently, BeeWatch supports one account at a time. Multi-account support may be added in a future update.
