BusySocialBattery

Seven levels, one tap. Your BUSY Bar shows how much people you have left in you — from a full green grin to a cross-eyed red frown. Let the room know before they ask.

Your BUSY Bar already tells people when you're in a meeting. Social Battery tells them something more useful: how much people you have left in you. Pick one of seven levels on your iPhone and your bar's front display lights up to match — a pixel-art battery gauge and a little face that grins, shrugs, or gives up entirely. Green and smiling when you're up for anything. Cross-eyed red when you are done talking to humans for the day. Your desk answers the question before anyone has to ask it. SEVEN LEVELS Full — bring on the day High — happy to chat Good — sociable Medium — running normally Low — keep it short Very Low — please email me Critical — do not perceive me IT STAYS PUT Set your level and close the app. The display keeps showing it until you change it or clear it — this is a status you set once in the morning, not something you have to babysit. One tap changes it when the afternoon goes sideways. STAYS IN STEP If your level gets changed somewhere else, the app notices and updates itself, so the phone and the bar never disagree about how you're doing. BUILT FOR THE HARDWARE The artwork is drawn pixel by pixel for the bar's 72x16 display — no scaled-down phone graphics, no blurry edges. Every level is legible from across a room. WHAT YOU NEED • A BUSY Bar • A free Busy account and an API token, which you paste in once • An internet connection — the app talks to your bar through the Busy cloud, so it works whether you're at your desk or across town Social Battery is an independent app and is not made by or affiliated with Busy. Level artwork is used under the MIT license from the community BUSY Bar Custom Apps project by Arthur James Barker. What's New — version 1.0 First release. Set your social battery on your BUSY Bar from your iPhone — seven levels, from Full to Critical, shown as pixel-art on the bar's front display. Your level stays up until you change it.
