Stay On Target 1138

Some pilots, at the critical moment, switch off their targeting computer and go with their gut. Yours now tells the time — so maybe leave it on.

A wireframe tunnel. Red range lines closing in. A crosshair that locks on and holds. Stay On Target turns your Apple Watch into a 1970s vector targeting display, with the time underneath in a big angular red readout. It is, technically, a clock.

Spin the crown and the radio crackles — short pilot callouts, recorded for this app.

Tap the date and your week scrolls away into the distance as a text crawl: today, tomorrow, and every day after that with something on it. Drag it with a finger or spin the crown to move through at your own pace. Nothing booked? It says so, and it sounds pleased for you.

FOUR UNITS

- ANq 3.6 — the tunnel: receding frames and rays, a twelve-second loop of range sweep, lock-on and chevrons. Amber or phosphor green.
- T-s7b — the range grid: two gridded gates swinging through space, gold on crimson, a ship marker between them, contacts curving past. The gates fill with your rings.
- DS-1 — the orbital approach: a red planet edge to edge, a green moon coming out from behind it as your Move ring fills, stars lighting with Exercise, a reticle filling with Stand. Close everything and it locks on.
- YV-4 — the base tracker: the war room's plotting table. A planet dead centre, a tracker coming round it with a flashing red cone of sight that eats into the green as your Move ring fills, until it lands on your moon. Stand lights the rim scale, Exercise grows the moon.

Long-press for SYSTEMS to switch units. KEY shows what each readout means.

ON IPHONE TOO

The iPhone app is the console the display is mounted in: each unit on its own screen shape, with the date, clock, ring bars and your next appointment around it. Turn it sideways for the full console, or press FULL and keep only the display. The Mission Briefing crawl plays across the whole screen. One purchase covers both.
