About Now On Wrist

Now On Wrist brings Pixel's iconic ambient music recognition right to your Wear OS smartwatch.

Never pull out your phone just to see what song is playing in the room. Now On Wrist detects music identified by your phone's ambient recognition and instantly pushes the track information directly to your wrist.

FEATURES:
• Ambient Wrist Alerts: Receive subtle, unobtrusive notifications whenever a new song is detected nearby.
• Customizable Haptic Feedback: Choose between Subtle, Prominent, Heartbeat, or Mute vibration patterns for newly recognized tracks.
• Watch Face Complications: Keep the current song title and artist pinned right on your favorite watch face (supports Short Text and Long Text slots).
• Interactive Wear OS Tile: Swipe to your dedicated Now On Wrist tile for an instant look at what's currently playing, with quick actions to open the track on your phone.
• Song Recognition History: Browse recently detected tracks directly on your watch or phone. Swipe any song to dismiss it, or tap to open it on your favorite music app.
• One-Tap "Open on Phone": Tap any recognized track on your watch to launch it immediately in YouTube Music, Spotify, or your default music player on your phone.

DESIGNED FOR WEAR OS:
• Crafted with Wear OS Material 3 and curved ScalingLazyColumn for smooth scrolling with the rotating crown.
• Native scroll-away time display and ambient battery-conscious black styling.

PRIVACY & BATTERY FIRST:
• 100% On-Device: Now On Wrist does NOT record audio, listen to your microphone, or upload your data to any cloud service.
• Zero Battery Drain: Uses Google Play Services local Wearable Data Layer over Bluetooth/Wi-Fi only when a song is recognized.
• Completely Ad-Free.

REQUIREMENTS:
• A phone with ambient music recognition enabled (e.g., Google Pixel "Now Playing" or compatible recognition service).
• A smartwatch running Wear OS 3.0 or higher (Google Pixel Watch, Galaxy Watch 4/5/6/7, OnePlus Watch 2, TicWatch Pro, etc.).
