Lock Keeper lets you control all your HomeKit compatible door locks with confidence, and see their status on the Apple Watch complications. The app has a refined and intuitive interface, that requires clear intent to operate the lock, and prevents accidental door locking and unlocking. The app can control the door locks once they've been added to your HomeKit setup using the Apple's Home app on iOS, or the door lock maker's iOS app. Some of the supported door locks: - August Wi-Fi Smart Lock, Smart Lock, and Smart Lock Pro - Yale Assure - Schlage Sense - Weiser Premis • Touch and hold on the lock in the watch app to lock and unlock your door. • You can also spin the digital crown to lock and unlock. • Touch and hold time span, and the digital crown travel are calibrated to prevent the accidental door locking and unlocking. • The watch face complication status will not update in the background, but it will update any time you use the app, so you will have a visible reminder that the door is locked, as long as you use this app to operate the lock. • If you have multiple locks, swipe left and right to navigate to them. While the app's minimalist looks betray the simplicity of its operation, what they don't show is the amount of planning, design, development and refinement that went into it, ensuring it becomes something that is enjoyable to use and experience. Lock Watch does not collect any of your data. Your lock status and activity never leaves the Apple ecosystem. Author of Lock Watch does not receive any information from this app, at any point.
