WristSense: Sensor Dashboard

Turn your Wear OS watch into a practical sensor dashboard for quick readings, hardware checks, and sensor exploration directly from your wrist.

WristSense brings multiple smartwatch sensors into one watch-first interface. Check live sound, compass, and level tools, see which sensors your watch includes, and unlock specialist pressure, altitude, and light measurements with WristSense Pro.

FREE SENSOR TOOLS

Use these tools without upgrading:

• Approximate sound level meter using the watch microphone
• Compass heading with cardinal direction and magnetic field information
• Bubble level with pitch and roll
• Full sensor inventory with availability, vendor, and specification details
• Watch-first dashboard and basic settings

WRISTSENSE PRO

WristSense Pro is a one-time Google Play purchase that unlocks specialist sensors and deeper measurement tools:

• Live barometric pressure in hPa or inHg
• Estimated altitude derived from atmospheric pressure
• Ambient light readings in lux
• Measurement sessions with live trend charts
• Minimum, average, and maximum session statistics
• Local session history
• Calibration adjustments
• Shareable text summaries
• Customizable dashboard metric
• Configurable Wear OS Tile
• Watch face complication support

BAROMETER AND ESTIMATED ALTITUDE

On watches with a pressure sensor, WristSense Pro can show atmospheric pressure and estimate altitude from barometric pressure. Altitude estimates can change with weather, calibration, and local atmospheric conditions, so they are for general reference.

AMBIENT LIGHT METER

On supported watches, WristSense Pro shows approximate ambient light intensity in lux for quick reference when checking room brightness, workspaces, or general lighting.

SOUND METER

Use the microphone on your watch for quick approximate sound-level readings in dB. Microphone access is requested only when you open the sound meter. Raw audio is processed in memory and is not stored or transmitted.

COMPASS

Check your current heading from your wrist. WristSense uses the sensors available on your watch and can indicate when magnetic interference or calibration may affect the reading.

BUBBLE LEVEL

Use your watch as a quick reference level with pitch and roll measurements.

SENSOR INVENTORY

See the hardware sensors reported by Wear OS, including availability, vendor information, and technical specifications. Check whether your watch includes a barometer, light sensor, magnetometer, accelerometer, or microphone.

WEAR OS TILE AND WATCH FACE COMPLICATION

WristSense Pro includes a configurable Wear OS Tile and watch face complication for supported metrics. These surfaces use the latest cached reading instead of continuously sampling sensors in the background. Tap through to WristSense for a fresh measurement.

BATTERY-CONSCIOUS SENSOR USE

Sensors are activated only while the relevant measurement screen is in use. WristSense does not continuously poll sensors in the background.

PRIVATE BY DESIGN

• No ads
• No analytics
• No account required
• No phone companion required
• No INTERNET permission
• Sensor readings stay on your watch
• Raw microphone audio is not stored or transmitted

HARDWARE SUPPORT

Available tools depend on the sensors built into your Wear OS watch. Some watches do not include a barometer, ambient light sensor, magnetometer, accelerometer, or microphone. WristSense shows when required hardware is unavailable.

IMPORTANT ACCURACY NOTE

WristSense readings are approximate and depend on watch hardware, calibration, sensor placement, and environmental conditions. WristSense is for general reference and informational use only. It is not a certified medical, safety, legal, industrial, aviation, or professional measuring instrument.

Explore the sensors inside your Wear OS watch, take quick reference measurements, and unlock pressure, altitude, light, trends, Tile, and complication tools with Pro.
