BUSY Bar features automatic on-call detection ☎️
It detects when your microphone is active and instantly switches to your on-call status, so your coworkers won't disturb you.
Our team is really into chess, so someone built a Chess Clock app for BUSY Bar.
Each player gets their own timer. Simply tap to switch the clock over to the other side ♟️
This is how the Google Calendar integration works on BUSY Bar 🗓️
It reminds you about the next event and counts down to it, then changes when the meeting starts, so nearby workmates can see you’re occupied.

It had to happen... DOOM is now running on BUSY Bar 😈
u/Squidwards_Ass currently has it playing at 35 FPS by streaming it through the device’s animation format, with the scroll wheel and buttons used as controls.
The next step is trying to run it natively on the device.
Still a work in progress, but very cool to see!
