Anthill: Ant Farm Watch Face

An ant farm on your wrist, and the colony is digging your time.

Anthill is a pixel-art cutaway of a meadow ant nest for your Wear OS watch, like a tiny museum diorama under a living sky. The hours and minutes are tunnels in the soil. When a minute turns, a digger ant sets to work on the new numeral while the rest of the colony bustles through every passage.

THE COLONY KEEPS YOUR DAY
Your battery is honey. Honeypot ants in the larder hold more amber the fuller your battery is, and while you charge, the larder glows like a lamp. Tap it for battery status.
Your steps are seeds. The granary grows toward your step goal, and more foragers head out the more you walk. Reach your goal on a calm, dry day and winged ants rise from the nest on their nuptial flight.
Your notifications are eggs. The queen lays one for each unread notification.
Below 20% battery, unless you're charging, the colony rests with only a couple of ants at work: a quiet hint to charge.

A SKY THAT FOLLOWS YOURS
Above the grass the sky keeps your day. The sun crosses it, the moon shows its real phase, and your watch's weather plays out over the meadow: drifting clouds, rain, snow, mist and thunderstorms. Fireflies come out on warm, clear nights.
After dark the stars turn overhead, Orion and the Milky Way among them, and the far meadow keeps the season, from spring blossom to bare winter trees.
At the top of each hour and when you raise your wrist, a visitor may pass in dry weather: swallows in spring and summer, landing geese in autumn and winter, a shooting star on clear nights.
In the southern hemisphere the sky turns to match, set from your time zone or by hand. Tilt your wrist and the sky drifts behind the grass, as if behind the glass of a display case.

ALWAYS-ON DISPLAY
When your watch rests, the scene becomes a quiet line engraving of the sleeping nest.

MAKE IT YOURS
Hold the face and choose Customize or Edit: Species (Red wood ant, Black garden ant or Golden honey ant), Temperature on or off, Sky (Automatic sky, Northern sky or Southern sky), and the Left pebble and Right pebble complications, which show battery and steps to start. The time follows your watch's 12- or 24-hour setting.

ON YOUR PHONE
The optional Anthill · Setup app plays a recording of the face and shows how to add it. Install the watch face on your watch through Google Play, then hold your current face, choose Add watch face and select Anthill. The watch face works on its own; no Pixelpond account is needed.

REQUIREMENTS
Watch face: Wear OS 6 or later on a compatible watch.
Optional phone guide: Android 7.0 or later.
Weather, steps and notifications come from your watch and its apps. The sun and moon follow fixed arcs, not exact sunrise, sunset or moonrise times.
Always-on display depends on your watch and its settings.
