Read full description

Teletext CH brings the full Swiss Teletext experience to your Apple Watch - standalone, no iPhone companion required. ⁣ **ALL 7 SWISS CHANNELS** SRF 1, SRF zwei, SRF info, RTS Un, RTS Deux, RSI LA 1, RSI LA 2. News, sports, weather, TV listings, financial data - exactly as broadcast. ⁣ **READER MODE** Teletext is famously 40 columns wide. Reader mode reconstructs the page into natural, flowing paragraphs that wrap to your watch screen. Hyphenated words are repaired. Inline page links stay tappable as [107]. Your wrist gets a proper reading experience, not a tiny grid of broken text. ⁣ **BEAUTIFUL TELETEXT RENDERING** Six rendering engines power the display - from pixel-perfect bitmap font reproduction to GPU-accelerated vector graphics. Full teletext attributes are supported: 8 colors, bold, underline, invert, flash animation, concealed text, and mosaic graphics. The default engine delivers a crisp, authentic teletext look tuned for OLED. ⁣ **NAVIGATE YOUR WAY** • Swipe horizontally to flip pages, vertically for subpages • Digital Crown zooms the page or scales reader text • Numeric keypad for direct 3-digit page entry • Fastext quick-links as colored dots at the bottom of each page • Favorites organized by channel with swipe-to-delete ⁣ **PRIVACY BY DESIGN** No accounts. No tracking. No analytics. Everything stays on your watch - viewed pages are cached locally, and nothing is ever sent to third parties. ⁣ Teletext CH is built by a single developer in Switzerland who grew up reading Teletext.
