About Roost Compass
Roost turns your Apple Watch into a precision compass pointed at wherever you need to return to. Set a pin for your parked car, your hotel, the festival entrance, or home. Raise your wrist. Walk. The needle updates live from your watch's own magnetometer as you turn, so you always know which way to go — no phone in hand, no map to navigate. WATCH FIRST Roost is built around the Apple Watch. Your iPhone manages saved locations; the watch is the instrument you use on the street. One glance tells you everything. HOW IT WORKS Save a place — drop a pin on the map and name it anything.
