About

Wrisper

Features
Read full description

Wrisper is a small assistant for your Apple Watch. Raise your wrist, tap Ask, say your question, and read the answer a few seconds later. There is no account to create and nothing to pay. The answers come from the Apple Intelligence model that is already on your iPhone, so your questions are not sent to us or to anyone else. ON YOUR APPLE WATCH • One big Ask button. Dictate, scribble or type your question. • Short answers written for a watch screen: one or two sentences. • Have answers read aloud, through the watch speaker or your headphones. • Your last five questions and answers are kept in a history list. • Clear messages when something is in the way: iPhone out of reach, model not ready, or a request that took too long. ON YOUR IPHONE • A status screen that says, in plain words, whether Apple Intelligence is ready, and what to do if it is not. • A field to try a question directly on the phone. • Your watch wakes the app in the background when you ask, so you don't have to keep it open. PRIVATE BY DESIGN • Questions are answered on your iPhone, by Apple's on-device model. • No account, no ads, no trackers, no analytics. • Wrisper has no server. We never see your questions or the answers. GOOD TO KNOW • Wrisper answers from what the model already knows. It cannot browse the web, so it does not know today's news, weather or scores. • Like any AI model, it can be wrong. Check anything that matters. • It replies in the language you ask in, for the languages Apple Intelligence supports. REQUIREMENTS • An iPhone that supports Apple Intelligence (iPhone 15 Pro or later), with Apple Intelligence turned on, running iOS 26 or later. • An Apple Watch running watchOS 26 or later, with your iPhone nearby.
