Is there an Owaves app for iPad?
Yes. Owaves: My BodyClock is one App Store listing for iPhone and iPad, and as of November 2026 it asks for iPadOS 17.2 or later on iPad. The listing’s description even suggests propping an iPad on your desk as a smart clock, so the 24-hour circle stays in view while you work.
On the bigger screen, My BodyClock works the way it does on the phone: every activity is a colored block on one 24-hour circle, in eight categories (what each color means). Owaves’ iPad help page (March 2023) describes dragging activity buttons onto the circle, and opening an activity’s Event Details to add a location, a photo, an alert time and notes.
Does the iPad version have the same features as iPhone?
Nearly all of them, going by Owaves’ own updates. Answering an older review in July 2025, Owaves said the iPad app had been rebuilt to match iPhone: you can sign in with an Owaves account to sync instantly, rename activities, add icons or photos, switch between day, week and month views, and use saved templates. Version 8.1 (September 2026) added a cleaner layout on iPad.
| Feature | On iPad? | Where Owaves says so |
|---|---|---|
| 24-hour circle (My BodyClock) | Yes | iPad editing FAQ (2023); App Store reply (July 2025) |
| Day, week and month views | Yes | App Store reply (July 2025); version 8.1.1 notes |
| Saved Day Plans (templates) | Yes | iPad features FAQ (May 2024); App Store reply (July 2025) |
| Rename activities, add icons or photos | Yes | App Store reply (July 2025) |
| Synced external calendars | Yes | iPad features FAQ (May 2024) |
| Create-a-Button and My Goals | Yes | iPad features FAQ (May 2024) |
| My Moai | Yes | Version 8.1.1 notes (September 2026) |
| Windows (BodyClock Plus) | Yes | Version 8.1.1 notes (September 2026) |
My Moai was the one feature Owaves’ May 2024 FAQ still listed as coming to iPad. Since then, the version 8.1.1 release notes (30 September 2026) have listed an iPad fix for it: My Moai no longer shows empty rows after you sign in. The same notes say Windows prompts on iPad no longer interrupt Month view. For the features themselves, see How to Use Windows in Owaves, and for the idea behind My Moai, What Is a Moai?
Can you use Owaves on a Mac?
Yes, on a Mac with Apple silicon. As of November 2026 the US App Store listing requires macOS 14.2 or later and a Mac with an Apple M1 chip or later, so a Mac with an Intel processor can’t run it.
There is no separate desktop app: as of November 2026, Owaves’ developer page on the App Store lists only Owaves: My BodyClock, and the listing carries Apple’s Designed for iPad label. Owaves’ FAQ on Macs (March 2023) explains that the version you can download on a Mac is the iPad app. Apple’s App Store User Guide says iPhone and iPad apps that work on a Mac carry that label in the Mac App Store, and that iPhone and iPad apps you already have that work on a Mac show up when you view your purchased apps there.
An iPad app on a Mac takes a moment to learn with a mouse or trackpad. Apple’s guide says you can use touch alternatives with these apps: for example, press and hold the Option key to use a trackpad as a virtual touch screen. You turn alternatives on from the app’s menu, here Owaves > Settings. Owaves fixes Mac issues too: version 8.1.1 fixed crashes when quitting on Mac.
How do you keep Owaves in sync across iPhone and iPad?
Sign in with the same Owaves account on both. Owaves’ help page on syncing (March 2024) says data syncs across devices once you have an account, that you should allow a minute for edits to sync to the other device, and that each device should run the latest version. Version 8.1 (September 2026) added a simpler way to sign in and create an account.
- Install and update. Get Owaves from the App Store on iPhone and iPad, and update both to the latest version.
- Sign in on each device with the same Owaves account, creating one first if you don’t have it yet.
- Make a change on one device, then give it about a minute before you check the other.
- Use Day Plans on either device. The iPad app supports saved Day Plans too (How to Save and Repeat a Day Plan in Owaves).
Apple Watch works differently, through watch-face complications and alerts; Does Owaves Work on Apple Watch? covers it.
What other devices does Owaves run on?
iPhone, iPad, Mac, Apple Vision and Apple Watch, but not Android yet. As of November 2026 the US listing names visionOS 1.1 or later for Apple Vision and watchOS 4.1 or later for Apple Watch. The version 8.0 notes (August 2026) say Apple Watch alerts now sync back to iPhone.
Owaves says its Android app is coming; you can join the waitlist and beta sign-up at owaves.com/android. As of November 2026, Owaves’ home page and Android page list iPhone, iPad and Apple Watch plus the Android waitlist, and neither they nor the App Store listing mention a web version or one for Windows PCs.
Is Owaves free on iPad and Mac?
Yes, to download. The US App Store lists Owaves as free with in-app purchases, and its free features include My BodyClock, My Goals and My Moai, as of November 2026. BodyClock Plus, the optional subscription, costs $12.99 a month or $99.99 a year with a free trial, and adds Windows for Deep Sleep, Deep Work, Peak Fitness and Eating, custom categories and unlimited Day Plans.

Your day on My BodyClock
The day above on My BodyClock is a desk day built around a propped-up iPad: Sleep from 10:30 PM to 6:30 AM, a morning walk and breakfast, two Work blocks with the circle in view on the desk, lunch and a short break outside, an afternoon workout, a family dinner, an hour of music and a reading wind-down. Every hour is filled, with Flow covering getting ready, setting up the desk, errands, planning the next day and getting ready for bed.
Plan it once on iPad or iPhone and save it as a Day Plan so your weekdays repeat. Start with the Body Clock Quiz to find your Body Clock Type, then download Owaves on the App Store for iPhone, iPad and Mac, or join the Android waitlist.
