Sounds like a cool idea! But I could not install it. Because Apple Store gave me This App Is Not Available To Your Store error. My store is Turkey, why is that?

I'd love to try it, this is truly innovative approach to an established platform and exactly what more developers need to be doing besides fitness/weather/steps. But you geo-locked it and I see no reason why you would do it. I presume you are just accessing the data Apple watch provides via some kind of API, so it's their problem, not yours. Every smart alarm and fitness app accesses the heart rate data, sends to the cloud and whatnot.

@andresmh can you explain the privacy implications of this app? Does health data leave my device?
Andrés Monroy-Hernández
@nikdotca the health data stays in the device and it's used to generate the animation. The id of the animation (not the health data) travels to partner's device via the cloud, and its deleted from the cloud once it's viewed. Thanks for the question!

Is it open-source so I can verify that my wife's heart rate doesn't leave her phone with this app?

Can you post the animations! I'm an android kid and animation fan. YouTube? Or upload them to Product Hunt?

When will this be available in Australia?

Looks awesome, but it isn't in my app store. Looks like a few people have had the same problem: Geo locked to the US App store. I'm in New Zealand - go on unlock it!!! Please?
