Hey r/WearOS! 👋

Ever since third-party apps vanished, browsing Reddit comfortably on a smartwatch felt practically dead. I wanted a modern, buttery-smooth client that felt truly native on Wear OS—so I built Red for Reddit.

It's completely free, tracker-free, and open-source under GPLv3.

Key Features on the Watch:

• Continuous Always-On Display (AOD) Reading: When your wrist goes down, the exact post, article, or comment tree stays visible in a pure GPU-monochrome high-contrast mode (1Hz AMOLED friendly, zero screen blur, massive battery savings).
• Smooth Image Carousel: Swipe through multi-photo galleries with your finger (HorizontalPager) complete with Instagram-style pagination dots and counter.
• Native Video Player: Integrated ExoPlayer supporting HLS and MP4 streams with audio unmute and loop.
• Rotary & Bezel Support: Smooth haptic scrolling using Horologist Rotary on Galaxy Watch rotating bezels and Pixel Watch crowns.
• Comment Tree & Interaction: Upvote, downvote, save, reply via on-screen keyboard or voice-to-text, and edit/delete your own comments.
• Glanceable Tiles: 3 interactive Tiles for your carousel (Personal Feed, Saved Posts, and Flash Headlines—no useless karma widgets).
• Search & Filter: Search communities and posts by Sort (Hot, New, Top, Relevance) and Time range (Day, Week, Month, All).
• Autonomous Long-Term Session: Sign in once with the companion app; the watch maintains and refreshes its own session autonomously without needing your phone nearby.
• Multilingual: Automatic locale detection (English, Spanish, French, German, Portuguese, Italian) including relative timestamps ("2h ago", "hace 2h", "il y a 2h", etc.).

Download & Source Code:

• GitHub Repository: github.com/Aaronhrndz/Reddit-for-Wear-OS

Tested thoroughly on Galaxy Watch Ultra 2 and compatible with any Wear OS device.

Feedback, bug reports, and PRs are super welcome! Hope you guys enjoy having Reddit on your wrist again.

UPDATE: Fixed repository privacy, the link must work now

I've built a training app for Wear OS watches, RawPace, and I'm looking for people who train with their watch and would like to try it before it's published.

What it is: an app for running (road and trail), cycling (road, MTB and gravel) and hiking (trekking and walking), with routes with turn-by-turn navigation and offline maps on the watch itself, fully customizable data screens designed to be read on the move, and interval workouts. It supports Bluetooth heart rate straps, syncs with Strava, Runalyze and Health Connect, and exports FIT and GPX. No account needed. More at rawpace.app.

Why I made it: I've used sports watches for many years (Garmin, Suunto, Coros, Polar, Amazfit…) and every now and then I tried to move to Wear OS for its flexibility (NFC payments, LTE…), but GPS and heart rate weren't where I needed them and I always went back to a sports brand. Current Wear OS watches have improved a lot, and in my experience their data is now good enough to train with. What still frustrated me were the apps: screens you can barely customize, no external heart rate strap, no route following. So I started, without big plans, building the app I wanted. It grew much more than I expected, and I think it now covers what most people who train regularly need.

What I'm looking for:

• Testing on different watches. I've only been able to test it in depth on two (Pixel Watch 5 and Galaxy Watch7), plus a few more through early testers, and I need to know how it behaves on others.
• Honest feedback on what works, what's unnecessary and what's missing, so I know what to polish before release.

Requirements: a watch with Wear OS 5 or later and an Android phone (it doesn't work with iPhone).

How to join: email [hello@rawpace.app](mailto:hello@rawpace.app) with your watch model, your phone and the Google account you use on Google Play (please don't post your email in the comments). I'll add you to the test and send you the install link. The step-by-step guide and what's worth testing are here: rawpace.app/test. It's in Google Play's internal testing, so the store page shows the package name, com.rawpace.app (unreviewed), with a generic icon: that's normal at this stage. I'll give access gradually, so it may take a few days. If you tell me in a comment which watch and phone you have, it helps me prioritize.

Testing is free, and thanks in advance to anyone who wants to help. When it's released, the plan is a one-time purchase, and everyone who tested it will get it for free as a thank-you.

Hablo español — if you prefer, write to me in Spanish ([hola@rawpace.app](mailto:hola@rawpace.app)). The app and the guide are available in Spanish too.

When I listen to music or anything else it works, but it never disappears.

App Name: Thoth: Your Memory & Tasks

What it does: Thoth is a local-first AI personal memory companion, notes vault, and voice assistant for Wear OS and Android that remembers important details from your conversations and notes in an on-device SQLite database. From your wrist, you can capture voice thoughts, tasks, and reminders in 1 second via the Wear OS app, Tile, or Watch Face Complication, and sync seamlessly with two-way Google Tasks, Google Calendar, Gmail, Contacts, and smart reminders.

Key Features on Wear OS & Android: - 1-Second Wrist Capture & Exact Reminders: Capture thoughts, tasks, and time-critical or location-based reminders instantly from the Wear OS smartwatch app, Quick Capture Tile, or Watch Face Complication (as well as Android Home Screen Widget and Quick Settings Tile). - Local-First SQLite Memory & Knowledge Graph: Store rich Keep-style notes and personal memories on your phone (with Android cloud auto-backup disabled), explore how your ideas connect in an interactive Knowledge Graph, and view location-tagged notes on a Memory Map. - Deep Google Workspace Integration: Full two-way Google Tasks sync (lists, subtasks, recurring rules), Google Calendar scheduling, confirmation-gated Gmail drafts, and smart contact lookup through natural voice or text commands.

Requires: Wear OS 3.0+ smartwatch paired with an Android phone

Goal: Launch

Giveaway: None (Free tier available for everyone out of the box)

Cost: Free tier available (local notes, tasks sync, reminders, Wear OS companion, and 5 AI messages/day with a small banner ad on phone). Optional Pro upgrade is $1.99/month (removes ads and unlocks higher AI message & token limits).

Well, I do know that most of you guys will tell me that I won’t be able to connect a galaxy watch to an android tablet but trust me I have done it before with an old Samsung tablet s6 lite.

I connected a gear s3, a galaxy watch 4, and a galaxy watch 6.

I did it without any complicated stuff or rooting my tablet. I just installed old apks of the galaxy wearable, a galaxy watch manager/plugin, Samsung accessories service and Samsung health. After installing all the apks, I opened Bluetooth and selected my watch to connect and it somehow bypassed tablet restrictions and started pairing easily. I don’t really have many photos for proof but I do have a photo of my gear s3 connected to my tablet.

I am asking any smart developers or some talented people if they could help me connect my galaxy watches to my new OnePlus tablet. The reason is because the old method is simply not working mostly due to not having a Samsung device which might have Samsung components allowing me to connect the watch to a Samsung tablet by performing a glitch.

So, can someone please help me connect my galaxy watch 4 and 6 to my tablet as I don’t have any other android device in my family and I’m just not allowed to borrow other peoples devices.

Also I would prefer to not do risky things like root or install sketchy applications as I might get in trouble.

I would also mostly prefer connecting it to this device even if it might be little complicated as it would help me explore and understand more about these stuff.

Thank you and have a great day.
