I've been using iPulse ( https://ipulseapp.com/ ) for about twenty years now. It gets consistent compliments and questions from shoulder-surfers because it looks great, and it doesn't take much screen real estate. N

My second, more intelligent, rational take: goodness, that's exciting! I can't wait to see more research as it follows. My first, drowned-in-doom-news take: can I move there? Immediately?
