App Description

With Glimpse you can always see all your favourite webpages with a swipe down in the Notification Center or on your wrist with the Glimpse Apple Watch App.

You want to see if there are news, if there is something new on your favourite webpage, if your long awaited product is available to order or check your used mobile data? You can do all of this with the right webpage inside Glimpse.

Glimpse comes with an extension for the Apple Watch:
Glimpse for Apple Watch lets you choose a specific area of a webpage which will be shown in the Apple Watch App and the Glance. You can refresh it there manually and choose between multiple snippets. It also sends the current page via Handoff to your Mac and iOS Device so that you can open it in Safari immediately.



Just add a page to Glimpse. Choose the right area of the page and then is the page inside the Glimpse Widget in the Today View of the Notification Center or on your Apple Watch. Glimpse saves your mobile data by refreshing your webpages in certain time intervals.

If you want to open a page quickly, you can do it from inside the Widget. Just press the right button and your page will be opened in safari.

You can manage multiple pages in your widget - switch them by pressing the arrow buttons.
