Adding and editing watches
Tap the add button to create a watch, then fill in as much or as little as you like — make, model, reference, caliber, serial number, year, and the movement specification (beat rate, lift angle, jewels, power reserve, movement type). Nothing is required beyond a name, so you can capture a watch quickly and fill in the rest later. Open any watch and tap Edit to change its details.
Service history & reminders
On a watch’s detail screen, add a service entry for each full service, regulation, repair or battery change. Record the date, who performed it, the cost, and the parts used. Set a service interval (in months) on the watch and Caliber works out when the next service is due, flags the watch when it is overdue, and can notify you in advance. To receive reminders, allow notifications when prompted, or enable them for Caliber in the Settings app.
Timing readings & six positions
Log a timing reading with its rate (seconds per day), amplitude, beat error and the position it was measured in. Readings build a chart so you can watch a movement’s rate trend over time. For a full regulation check, record a six-position set — dial up, dial down, crown up, crown down, crown left, crown right — and Caliber reports the mean rate, the positional spread, and the flat-versus-vertical delta, graded against chronometer-style limits.
Straps & bracelets
Each watch has a Straps & bracelets section. Add a strap by type (leather, rubber, FKM, NATO, fabric, silicone, steel bracelet, integrated bracelet), with its material, colour, brand, lug width and clasp. Mark one as currently fitted — setting a new one as fitted clears the flag on the others, so a watch always shows just what is on it now. Use the context menu on a strap to set it as fitted or delete it.
Wear tracking
Log the days you wear a watch to build a record of what actually gets worn. Over time this helps you see which pieces earn their place and which are candidates for rotation.
Photos & documents
Attach photos to a watch — the dial, the caseback, the movement — and import documents such as receipts, warranty cards and service invoices so the paperwork stays with the watch. Photos and documents are stored with the rest of the watch’s data and sync through iCloud along with everything else.
iCloud sync
If you are signed in to iCloud, Caliber automatically keeps your collection in sync across your iPhone, iPad and Mac. There is nothing to set up beyond being signed in to the same Apple Account on each device with iCloud enabled for Caliber. Sync happens in the background and can take a short while; if a change has not appeared on another device, make sure that device is online and signed in, and give it a moment. If you sign out of iCloud, Caliber keeps working with the copy on that device.
The Mac version
Caliber runs natively on the Mac as well as iPhone and iPad. You can get the Mac version from the App Store, or buy it as a direct download from this site — a signed, notarised app activated with a licence key, with no App Store account required. Both are the same app and sync through the same iCloud account.
Privacy & data
Caliber sends nothing to Whiteforge. Your collection lives on your device and in your own private iCloud, which only you can access. There are no accounts, no analytics, no advertising, and no third-party SDKs. For the full detail, see the privacy policy.
