Peek Notes is a memory aid that lives on your Apple Watch. The things you can't afford to forget sit on your wrist, hidden, and appear only when you tilt to read them. Write them on iPhone, send them to your watch, and stop worrying about blanking at the wrong moment. HOW IT WORKS 1. Write your notes on iPhone. A few words each: a line, a name, a number. 2. Tap Send to watch. They arrive in a few seconds. 3. Double-tap the watch to get the next note ready. You feel a tap, and nothing shows on screen yet. 4. Tilt your wrist forward to read it. Bring it back level and it hides again. 5. Long-press to jump to the next note. After the last one it loops back to note 1. If you forget to put your wrist down, a note hides on its own after 60 seconds. DISCREET BY DESIGN Every gesture is small: a double-tap, a slight tilt, a long press. From the outside it looks like you're checking the time. Nothing lights up until you want it to, and the notes never sit open on the screen. Need your normal watch face back right away? With Emergency exit (Plus), one shake of the wrist closes the app instantly. A MEMORY AID, NOT A SCRIPT Memory fails under pressure. You're halfway through a presentation, every eye in the room is on you, and the next point, the name or the number is suddenly gone. That's stress at work: it makes recall hardest at exactly the moment you need it. Writing it down helps, but pulling out a phone or a sheet of paper in front of people is not always possible. Peek Notes keeps that backup on your wrist. You don't have to learn every word by heart or hold every number in your head. Knowing the answer is one tilt away takes the pressure off, and with less pressure you remember more on your own. Most of the time, just knowing it's there is enough. A TIMER YOU FEEL, NOT SEE Start the timer on your watch and turn on pacing taps. You get a gentle buzz at the interval you choose, every few minutes, so you know how much time has passed without looking at a clock. The timer keeps running when the screen goes dark. KEEP IT SHORT, KEEP IT CLOSE Write cues, not paragraphs: the key fact, the right number, the first words of what comes next. A short cue is often all your memory needs to bring back the rest. Five to ten words per note read best in a single glance. Put them in order, and a long press always takes you to the next one. FREE TO START The free version gives you one short note so you can try the gestures, tilt to read and the pacing taps on your own watch. PEEK NOTES PLUS - As many notes as you need - Unlimited note length - Custom tilt and shake sensitivity, so the gestures fit how you move - Emergency exit: shake your wrist to close the app instantly - Watch memory: your notes and your current position are kept when the watch app closes Plus is available as a weekly or yearly subscription, or as a one-time lifetime purchase. TIPS - Test the tilt once before you need it, and adjust the sensitivity with Plus if needed. - Keep your iPhone and Apple Watch close with Bluetooth on when you send notes. - Turn on Watch memory (Plus) so your notes stay put even if the app closes.
