About

WatchFace Notes

Features
Read full description

This utility app allows you to send any of your text to the watch face of your Apple Watch. The app combines the functionality of notes with a widget for the watch face, home screen, and even the lock screen, where you can display any text, such as a reminder or an important task. By tapping on the widget, you instantly navigate to the app. You can display important information like your flight number, the time you need to leave the house, or any critical task you cannot forget. The app helps you place this information directly on your watch screen. It works best with the always-on display enabled, so your information is always visible. All your notes are synchronized and stored in iCloud as well as locally. This means that no matter where you are, you can always open your notes, edit the text, display it on the watch face, and so on. You’ll be able to access your notes even if your phone is out of battery.
