WatchKeys: Wear OS Keyboard

Store description excerpt

WatchKeys is a keyboard built specifically for Wear OS smartwatches. Every other Wear OS keyboard covers your full screen while typing, you lose context of what you're replying to, and which app you're in. WatchKeys sits at the bottom, keeping your content visible while you type. • Gesture-based 5-key layout Designed specifically for small round watch screens. Each key holds two characters: tap for the first, swipe up for the second.

Enable multiple languages and cycle through them with the globe key. • Symbol layers Two symbol pages per language, common symbols on page 1, additional symbols on page 2 via long press. • Emoji layer Quick access emoji keyboard built in. • Voice input Long-press the space bar to activate voice input. Choose between online (Google) for higher accuracy or offline (VOSK) for privacy and no internet required. A visual recording indicator shows when the mic is active. • Companion phone app Configure your keyboard, manage languages, download offline voice models, and sync settings directly to your watch. • Highly customizable - Preview strip on/off - Haptic feedback on/off - Key contrast and color themes - Hint text size - Key fade animation duration - Side key width adjustment - Mic hold duration - Compact mode for a smaller keyboard height - Enter and backspace position swap - Double-tap as an alternative to swipe up gesture - Ctrl key toggle Requires Wear OS 4+
