Checking CO₂ with @aranethome.bsky.social always feel a bit clunky. Not quick or discreet enough.
So I built an app to see Aranet CO2 values, instantly on:
⌚️ Apple Watch, with 2 complications
📱 iPhone lockscreen, with 2 widgets
Finally, CO2 monitoring that’s actually seamless and discreet.

This is no longer a nation under the rule of law. The United States has been taken over by political ideology abusing power to carry out political vendettas.
