Apple Watch apps
watchOS apps, complications and independent (cellular) experiences.
Wearable app development, built for the wrist
We design and build apps for Apple Watch, Wear OS, fitness trackers, smart rings and AR glasses engineered around real battery, connectivity and screen-size constraints, not a shrunk-down phone app.

A wearable app is not a smaller phone app
Every constraint changes when the screen moves from your pocket to your wrist. Here's what that means for how we build.
Aspect
Phone app
Wearable app
Screen
5–6 inch touch display, deep menus
1–2 inch glanceable face, one idea per screen
Interaction
Multi-step taps and swipes
One glance, one tap, or a voice command
Power
Charged nightly, always-on radios
Multi-day battery budget, radios sleep by default
Connectivity
Constant Wi-Fi / LTE
Bursty Bluetooth, must work offline
What we build
Wear OS apps
Tiles, watch faces and background services for Android wearables.
Fitness & health trackers
Heart rate, SpO2, sleep and recovery tracking apps.
Smart glasses & AR
Heads-up displays and voice-first hands-free interfaces.
Custom IoT wearables
Firmware-to-app pipelines for bespoke hardware.
BLE & sensor integration
Low-power Bluetooth pairing, streaming and background sync.
Wearable app testing
Battery, connectivity and real-device QA before launch.

FAQ
Questions we get from wearable companies.
Apple Watch (watchOS), Wear OS, Samsung Tizen, fitness trackers with SDKs, and custom BLE-connected hardware, alongside the companion mobile app.
We profile power usage during development, batch sensor reads, use low-power BLE connection intervals, and test on physical devices before every release.
Yes, where the hardware supports it. We build offline-first apps that queue data locally and sync automatically once connectivity returns.
Sensitive data is encrypted in transit and at rest, and we architect around HIPAA and GDPR principles for apps handling personal health information.
Fixed price suits a clearly scoped MVP, a dedicated team suits ongoing product development, and time & material suits requirements that are still evolving.
