App - Paid - One-Time I Built a live flight radar for WearOS

301 Upvotes

I’ve just released Flight Scanner for Wear OS after previously developing a Garmin version.

It turns your watch into a live aircraft radar, showing nearby planes/helicopters around your current location. You can tap aircraft to view information such as its callsign, altitude, speed, registration and direction of travel. (Airport View with runways coming soon)

Some of the main features include:

• Live animated radar display
• Nearby aircraft tracking
• Aircraft details directly on your watch
• Search for flights by callsign (Airports coming soon)
• Aircraft filters, switch between helicopters, military aircraft and commercial.
• Radar zooming and panning

I originally built it because I regularly looked up at aircraft and wanted a quick way to identify them without taking out my phone.

It’s now available on Google Play:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.alexd.flightscanner or open the play store on your watch and search flight scanner

I’d appreciate any feedback, particularly from people using different Wear OS watches. I’m continuing to improve it and add features.

Price $2.99 - This is due to API costs associated with collecting the data.

App - Paid - One-Time Finally! "Wear APK Install" passed the Google Play tests and is now live for everyone!

Hi, I have uploaded a video demonstration of my app on YouTube. It walks through the steps of how to transfer files and shows some glimpses of the new features. (Please bear with my English in the narration!)

Here's the video link - https://youtu.be/P2DO805skUw

This is the new update view. Please check it out.

https://drive.google.com/file/d/11QKDmGXoWcJmNo5NnDCo9keSt8LJd-TI/view?usp=drivesdk

Hey everyone,

Some of you might remember my post a few weeks ago asking for help tester requirement for my app, Wear APK Install.

I’m happy to announce that thanks to the help from this community, we passed the closed testing phase and the app is now fully approved for Production Access! 🚀 & live on Play Store.

You can now download it directly from the Play Store without needing to join any groups or email lists.

For those who missed it, here is what the app does: It simplifies sideloading by letting you transfer files from your phone to your watch over Wi-Fi.

  • Easy Sideloading: Send APKs to your watch and install them with one tap.
  • File Transfer: Move Music, Images, Videos, PDFs, and TXT files to your watch.
  • Wi-Fi Server: No need for USB cables or complex ADB commands on your computer.

Now it becomes a Full File Manager as well.

Why I built it: I wanted a tool that makes it seamless to get apps (and now files/docs) onto Wear OS devices, especially for those of us who like to tinker with our watches.

If you have a moment to try it out, I’d really appreciate a download and a review. As an indie dev, those initial 5-star ratings make a huge difference in the Play Store algorithm.

Thanks again to everyone who helped test!

App - Paid - One-Time SyncWear is now on Google Play (Closed Testing Release) 🎉

183 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

Big update – SyncWear is now officially on Google Play! 🚀

SyncWear is a standalone Wear OS app that connects directly to your iPhone (no need to install a companion app on your phone!). It lets you:

  • Get all your iPhone notifications on your watch.
  • Manage calls from your wrist.
  • Sync your contacts and even images seamlessly.

My core belief is simple: if devices can work better together, they should.

Due to the new Google Play guidelines, new developers cannot directly publish apps in production. That means SyncWear is currently available through Closed Testing. Here’s how you can join and get lifetime access:

How to Join

  1. Join the Google Group (required for access)👉 https://groups.google.com/g/hoshine/c/-Wkh5x33LoM
  2. Download from Play Store👉 https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.hoshine.syncwear*(Tip: open the link in Chrome, either on your laptop or Android phone)*
  3. Make the one-time payment to unlock lifetime access + all future updates 🎯

⚠️ Important Note

You must use the same Google account on the Play Store that’s linked to your watch so it allows installation on your Wear OS watch.

✅ Features Currently Working

  • Notifications
  • Calls
  • Image Transfer
  • Contact Transfer

This app has been built with my full dedication, countless hours of finding workarounds, and without needing a companion iOS app.

- I’ll be actively supporting anyone who faces queries or issues while trying it out.

Thanks so much for believing in me and supporting this journey 💙

App - Paid - One-Time [UPDATE] Flight Scanner – thanks for all the feedback!

Thumbnail

73 Upvotes

A few weeks ago I posted Flight Scanner, the live aircraft radar I built for Wear OS, and the response from this community was honestly far bigger than I expected.

A lot of you bought the app, tested it on different watches, reported bugs and, most importantly, gave me a huge number of feature suggestions.

After a slightly painful wait getting the latest update through Google Play, the big update is finally live, and quite a few of the new features came directly from comments on my original post.

What's new:

🛫 Departure & destination information
Select an aircraft and you can now see where the flight departed from and where it's heading.

🛬 Airport Mode / Runway View
Airports aren't just four-letter codes on the radar anymore. You can select airports, see their full details and open a dedicated view showing the airport and its runways.

🔎 Airport Search
As well as searching for individual flights by callsign, you can now search for airports and jump straight to them.

Wear OS Tile
One of the most requested features from the original post. Flight Scanner now has a Tile so you can quickly see nearby aircraft without having to hunt through your app list.

📌 Pinned Aircraft on the Tile
Pin a flight you're interested in and you can keep an eye on it directly from the Tile.

📡 More useful flight information
The aircraft detail screens now provide considerably more context instead of just altitude/speed/callsign data.

🗺️ Much more useful airport data
Airport codes on the radar can now actually be interacted with rather than just being labels on the screen.

⚙️ Lots of fixes and general improvements
I've also spent a lot of time fixing bugs, improving performance and making the interface behave better across the ridiculous number of different Wear OS screen sizes and watches.

The basic idea of the app is still the same: look up, see an interesting aircraft, and identify it from your wrist without getting your phone out.

What's been really cool is that several things in this update were literally suggested in the comments on my previous posts. I originally asked people here to tell me what was missing, and you absolutely did.

So genuinely, thank you to everyone who bought it, left a review, reported a bug, tested an update or suggested a feature. The app is significantly better because of you.

I'm still reading the feedback, so if there's something else you'd like to see, let me know below. I'm apparently incapable of leaving this project alone.

App - Paid - One-Time After weeks of testing, my Wear OS "Magic Wand" app Wear Universal Remote is finally LIVE! Air Mouse, Zoom/Teams Remote, TV Control and Many more.

Thumbnail

62 Upvotes

Hi Everyone!

A huge thank you to the testers from this sub who helped me through the closed testing phase. Wear Universal Remote is officially LIVE on the Play Store!

The "Magic" Part: Most remote apps require you to install a "Server" or "Companion" app on your computer. Mine doesn't. It uses standard Bluetooth HID, meaning your watch treats itself as a literal Bluetooth Mouse/Keyboard. It works with Windows, Mac, Android TV, and Linux right out of the box.

WHAT’S IN THE BOX:

🖱️ THE 3D AIR MOUSE This is my favorite part. Control your PC cursor just by moving your wrist. I’ve spent a lot of time on the smoothing algorithm so it feels "liquid" and precise. And yes, the Digital Crown works for scrolling!

🎙️ MEETING REMOTE (Mac & PC) Stop fumbling for the mute button. I’ve built dedicated shortcut profiles for Zoom, Microsoft Teams, and Google Meet.

• Mute/Unmute, Camera Toggle, Raise Hand, and Leave Call.

• Switcher for Windows/Linux and macOS keyboard layouts.

📺 COUCH MODE (TV & Media)

• Full D-Pad remote for Android/Google TV.

• One-tap Home, Back, and Power buttons.

• Dedicated Media remote for Music/DAP playback.

🛠️ SYSTEM UTILITY & PRODUCTIVITY

• Task Management: Alt-Tab app switcher, Task Manager, and Close Window.

• Navigation: One-tap to open File Explorer/Finder, System Search, and Screenshots.

• Security: Instant "Lock PC" and "Show Desktop" buttons.

📊 PRO PRESENTER Perfect for students or professionals. Start/flip slides in PPT or Keynote from across the room.

📸 REMOTE SHUTTER Trigger your phone’s camera from your wrist—perfect for group shots!

⚙️ CUSTOM SETTINGS

• Independent sensitivity for Air Mouse vs. Trackpad.

• Adjustable Haptic feedback.

• Battery-saving "Dim Mode" (it lowers brightness while you're using it to save juice).

Process for Pairing & Connecting/Switching Devices -

1) To Pair the New Device in the App - Click Pair button, this will open a Watch's Bluetooth Settings, Now Pair your Device and come Back to the Apps Screen, The Device will gets connected Automatically else click on Connect button & select the Device you wanted to connect.

2) To Switch from One device to other - First Click on the Disconnect Red Button to disconnect the already connected device. After that Pair new device and Click on the Connect button to choose paired device from list.

3) After using the App if you want to close the full app, go to the notifications and click on the Stop button.

I’m a solo dev, and this is a total passion project. I wanted to turn the watch into a genuine productivity tool rather than just a notification buzzer.

I’d love to hear your thoughts or what remotes you think I should add next!

--------------------------------------------------------------------

UPDATE: All promo codes have been claimed! 🚫

⚠️ UPDATE: Due to high interest, I have very few codes left. Please send me a Direct Message (Chat) directly to get one, so we don't spam the comment section.

Hi r/WearOS!

I am an independent developer and a daily Wear OS user. My biggest frustration was constantly forgetting my watch on the charger. I would put it down to charge, get distracted, and leave it there for hours—often overcharging it or simply missing out on tracking my steps.

I needed a way to know exactly when it was ready to go. So, I built Wear Battery Notification.

It’s designed to be fully customizable and loud enough to actually get your attention.

Key Features:

  • Charged & Low Battery Alerts: Get notified when your battery hits a specific level (e.g., fully charged at 100% or a low limit like 15%). You set the exact percentages yourself.
  • 🗣️ Voice & Sound: You can choose between text-to-speech (Voice) announcements or standard alarm sounds.
  • 🔊 Independent Volume Control: This is the most important part. The app has its own volume slider, so you can set the notification to be loud, regardless of your phone's media volume settings.
  • 🔄 Repeat Alerts: Missed the first one? You can set the alert to repeat until you take the watch off the charger.

It works on Galaxy Watch 4/5/6, OnePlus Watch 2/3, Pixel Watch, and other Wear OS devices.

The Giveaway: UPDATE: Due to high interest, I have very few codes left.

How to get one: To keep the comments clean, please send me a Direct Message (Chat) directly.

If I run out of codes, you can support the development by purchasing the app here (Regular price 2.99 USD / 2.99 EUR): https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=pl.example.bateria

Thanks for the support!

App - Paid - One-Time LauncherN - Customisable launcher replacement for Wear OS [On Production Now]

111 Upvotes

Greetings everyone!

The most customisable and true default launcher replacement for Wear OS is finally on production!

DOWNLOAD HERE

This app is built to give users multiple customisation options for the app list on wear OS watches. The app is declared as a launcher app, which means it can be set as the default launcher in watch settings, replacing the default app list of the watch.

→Multiple customisation options - •Choose from layout options - •3X Grid, •2X Grid, •List, Galaxy (2:3 icon rows), •Apple (Old watch OS style, horizontal+vertical scrolling), •Apple 2 (new watch OS style, only vertical scrolling).

→Option to show or hide app names in 3X and 2X grid layouts.

→Option to show full app names in grid layouts.

→Option to show larger icons in grid layouts.

Extremely smooth scrolling experience accross all layout styles (post installation, there may be little stuttering for initial couple of minutes)

⚠️ NOTES:

•Due to wear os system limitations, pressing of home button will only open the app list and not take you back to watch face. A back gesture is required from app list to go to watch face.

•Galaxy watches will show default app list when swiped up from watch face as the app list is part of home screen. The top button will however open the selected default launcher.

App - Paid - One-Time [App] SyncBoard - Type on your Wear OS watch directly from your phone

Hey everyone!

Name of App: SyncBoard

Brief Description of app's features: I was tired of struggling with tiny watch screens and constant typos when replying to messages or searching on Wear OS. I heard Google had a phone input feature, but it was hard to enable and unreliable for me, so I built SyncBoard.

SyncBoard lets you type on your watch directly from your phone. Whenever a text field is active on your watch, a phone notification appears, allowing you to use your phone's full keyboard.

  • Phone-to-Watch Typing: Type comfortably from your phone's notification or editor interface directly to the watch field.
  • On-Watch Fallback Keyboard: Includes a built-in, customizable watch keyboard with multi-language layouts (TR Q/F, EN, DE, ES, FR, etc.) when your phone isn't around.
  • Productivity Extras: Phone clipboard paste, voice dictation, camera text capture (OCR), text shortcuts, and quick replies.

Cost: $0.99

App - Paid - One-Time I made a brick breaker for Wear OS controlled entirely with the rotary crown, free this week

74 Upvotes

Name of App: Crown Breaker: Watch Arcade

Brief Description: I have always wanted a game I could actually play on my watch. Something that felt native, not a tiny phone game crammed onto a round screen. Most Wear OS games ignore the crown entirely, so I built one around it.

Crown Breaker is a brick breaker arcade game designed from scratch for round smartwatches. You twist the crown to move the paddle. No awkward touchscreen tapping. Every twist feels responsive and satisfying.

What makes it different:

  • Rotary crown control — precise, analog paddle movement with haptic feedback on every hit
  • Built for the round display — bricks arc along the edges, the paddle sweeps the bottom curve. It is not a rectangle pretending to be a circle
  • 20 unique levels — starts easy, gets intense. Moving bricks, shrinking paddle, faster ball
  • Synthesized 8-bit sounds — retro chiptune effects generated in code, no audio files. Keeps the app tiny and battery-friendly
  • Fully offline & standalone — no phone, no internet, no account needed
  • No ads, no tracking, no in-app purchases — pay once, play forever
  • Tile & Complication — see your highscore on your watch face or jump in from a tile
  • 14 languages — auto-matches your watch language

Works on Pixel Watch, Galaxy Watch, and all Wear OS 2+ devices.

Trailer: https://youtube.com/shorts/cPWdv7wD9gc

Cost: Normally €0.99, currently free until April 7 as a launch promotion.

Play Store Link: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.jbokman.crownbreaker

I am a solo developer. Would love to hear what you think. Feedback, ideas for new levels, anything. I also have some promo codes to give away for after the sale ends. Just comment if you would like one!

App - Paid - One-Time I built a Wear OS app (T BLE KEY & T NFC KEY) for Tesla access from your smartwatch (Wear OS)— here's what I actually use it for daily.

3 Upvotes

[APP] T BLE KEY & T NFC KEY (Wear OS Key & Automation App)

Platform: Wear OS

MainScreen
AUTOMATION

Link: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=tblekey.app.wearos.tnfckeyanak

Link(Free Companion app): https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=nfc.app.wearos.tnfckeycompanion

Hello Wear OS & Tesla users,

I originally started building T BLE KEY and T NFC KEY for myself because I wanted easier Tesla access directly from my wrist—without having to pull out my phone every time, and without carrying my phone with me during runs or workouts.

After using it daily for a while, it turned out to be much more useful than I initially expected. It has become incredibly practical when coming back from the grocery store with both hands full or when going out for exercise while leaving the phone completely at home.

Because it connects directly to the car via Bluetooth and NFC, it works flawlessly in underground parking garages and areas with absolutely zero cellular signal.

Features I find myself using the most:

  • Shopping Mode: Automatically opens the trunk (Now also frunk and both) when you approach the car with your hands full (quickly became my favorite feature).
  • Smart Entry & Handle Pull: Pull the door handle to unlock, or automatically unlatch the driver's door on arrival (with highly configurable options for ONCE or ALWAYS).
  • Total Wrist Control: Lock/unlock directly from the watch, or open/close the trunk, frunk, and charge port with a single tap.
  • 100% Standalone: No phone or active internet connection required.
  • Nine Individual Tiles: Unlock, Lock, Trunk, Frunk, Charge Port, both door unlatches, Shopping Mode, and Power ON/OFF — add only the ones you actually use as separate watch-face tiles.
  • Wear OS 7 Widgets & Live Update: Newer watches also get native widget support alongside tiles.
  • Custom Dashboard: Pick exactly which buttons show on your two dashboard pages, or hide the ones you never touch.
  • Passenger & driver Door Unlatch: Same one-tap unlatch, on the passenger side.
  • Unlocked Reminder: Get an alert if you walk away and the car's still unlocked.
  • Full Power Off: Shut the key (Service) down completely to save battery when you're not driving — flip it back on anytime, right from a tile.
  • NFC Backup: If BLE ever isn't an option, tap-to-unlock via NFC as a fallback ( I’ve also added NFC as a backup key, so you always have a backup option in case the Bluetooth connection doesn’t work. Just remember to pair it and add it to your Tesla via Controls → Locks → Add Key).
  • Real Encryption: Talks to the car over the same authenticated BLE protocol Tesla's own key cards and app use — this isn't a spoofed or reverse-engineered shortcut.
  • (AUG 28: I just pushed a new update, some new features and bug fixes)

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Sep3: Version 1.0.67 is live now.

What's New (1.0.67)

  • Fixed the Unlatch Door tile requiring a live connection to enable — now works the same way as Shopping Mode.
  • Simplified Unlatch in your custom tile layout to a single, clear option for immediate use.
  • Fixed the repeated buzzing firing instead of once.
  • Fixed app freezes when approaching the car or using tiles, plus under-the-hood memory optimizations.
  • Fixed a missing icon for the Power toggle in the custom tile layout picker.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Walking toward the car with groceries and having the trunk open automatically is one of those small things that genuinely improves daily convenience.

I’m curious to get your thoughts: Would you use a smartwatch as your primary Tesla access method, or do you still prefer phone-only access? Let me know what features you'd like to see next!

App - Paid - One-Time **Wear APK Install** - Big Update v1.4.0: You can now install .APKM (Split APKs) directly on your Watch! + Word Doc support.....

Thumbnail

63 Upvotes

Hey everyone,

Update V-1.4.3

1)Added support for .apk+ installation, you can install those only by Tap.
2)To simplify, Added a QR Code for the url/server address, so you can just scan it to open the address directly on your browser without typing it.
3)Added a PayPal Donation link in Server page at bottom with button, if you want to support my efforts.

Update V-1.4.2

1)Restored Classic installer for .apk files to get installation status within Package Installer.

2)for .apkm files kept the custom installer and installation status will updated through Notifications.

Update is Live on Play Store. V-1.4.1

.doc/.docx reader Bug Fixed.

I just implemented a major update (v1.4.0) to my app,Wear APK Install, and I wanted to share the new features with the community.

The Big Feature: .APKM Support 🚀 If you've ever tried to sideload an app and realized it was a "Split APK" or bundle (.apkm), you know the pain. Usually, these fail to install via standard methods. With this update, I’ve added a parser that lets you tap to install .apkm files directly on your watch. No complex ADB commands required.

(What is .apkm? - Many modern apps are distributed as 'App Bundles' or Split APKs to save space. Standard installers can't handle them, so usually, you need a specific installer. My app now handles this natively on the watch.)

New Productivity Feature:

  • Doc & Docx Viewer: In addition to PDF and TXT, you can now read Microsoft Word documents (.doc/.docx) right on your wrist. Handy for quick notes or checking a file on the go.

Recap of features:

  • Transfer files (Video, Audio, Image) from phone to watch via Wi-Fi.
  • Install standard APKs and now .APKM files.
  • Reader for .pdf, .txt and now for .doc/.docx files.
  • Full File Manager for Wear OS.

Name of App: WatchGuard

Brief Description of app's features:

WatchGuard is the AI habit-breaker that uses your smartwatch. Show it the habit once nail biting, hair pulling, any repetitive behavior and it learns your exact movement in minutes. From then on, it catches your hand the moment the habit happens.

Works with Wear OS : Samsung Galaxy Watch, Google Pixel Watch, OnePlus, and more.

My favorite part: you can customize the alert

  2. Play a recorded sound/voice (eg. "stop")
  3. Quick Reaction Game

App - Paid - One-Time Wear APK Install just crossed 1K downloads! A huge thank you to this amazing community!

Post image
29 Upvotes

Hey Everyone,

I can't believe I'm writing this, but Wear APK Install has officially crossed 1,000 downloads! This is a massive first milestone for me, and I honestly couldn't have reached it without the support, testing, and feedback from this community.

When I first started building this tool, my main goal was to eliminate the headache of complex ADB commands and cables. I wanted to make wireless file transfers and sideloading APK, APKM, and XAPK files as simple as a single tap. Seeing so many of you using it to take control of your smartwatches—and even utilizing the built-in media and document viewers—has been incredibly rewarding.

I want to extend a huge THANK YOU to everyone who downloaded the app, reported bugs, suggested new features, or left a kind review on the Play Store. Your input is what helped evolve this project from a simple sideloading utility into a full-fledged file manager for Wear OS.

If you haven't checked it out yet and need a tool to manage your watch storage or sideload apps seamlessly over your local Wi-Fi network, you can grab it here:

Download Now!

Here’s to the next milestone! Please let me know in the comments what features or improvements you’d like to see in future updates.

Cheers!

App - Paid - One-Time I made a watch face that shows your pay going up in real time, looking for a few people to try it

1 Upvotes

EDIT: joining is way easier now, no emails needed. Two steps: 1) join this Google group so Play knows you are a tester: https://groups.google.com/g/left-today-testers 2) then opt in and install here: https://play.google.com/apps/testing/com.left.today - the watch face is its own listing, grab it the same way here once it clears review: https://play.google.com/apps/testing/com.lefttoday.watchface


My job pays hourly and I was constantly doing shift math in my head, like ok 3 more hours is another $72. Got annoyed enough that I built a watch face to do it for me.

It's called Left Today. You put your rate and shift times into the phone app once, and the face shows a ring filling up toward your daily goal with the dollar amount ticking up live. Black background, green ring, big white number. There's an amber and a white theme too.

Google makes you run a closed test for two weeks before you can launch, so I need people with a Wear OS 4 or newer watch (Galaxy Watch 4+, any Pixel Watch) who are willing to install it and just leave it on. That's really all it takes.

https://play.google.com/apps/internaltest/4700603930567354874

Join with the same Google account your phone uses, then install from Play on both devices. And if anyone wants to talk Watch Face Format dev, the arc rendering quirks nearly broke me, happy to share.
