WristMate

Make your Apple Watch yours - with custom photo complications and a one-tap launcher for the things you do most. Wristmate turns your watch face into something personal and useful. Build photo complications from your own pictures, then wire them to instant actions. Tap your dog's photo to start a walk. Tap your kid's photo to call the sitter. It's your watch, your way. PHOTO COMPLICATION SETS • Build complications from your own photos - circular, rectangular, and corner slots. • Crop, zoom, and rotate each photo to fit the slot perfectly. • Rotate through a set automatically - every 15 minutes, every 30, hourly, daily, or when you open the app. • Add a custom color border to make a complication pop. A LAUNCHER FOR EVERYTHING YOU REACH FOR Fill your watch with one-tap Quick Actions - pick from ten and arrange them your way: • Start Workout - jump straight into the Apple Watch Workout app for your chosen activity. • Call Contact - call someone in a single tap. • Message Contact - fire off a pre-filled message. • Search Maps - launch a saved Maps search. • Quick Note - dictate a note from your wrist. • Quick Reminder - dictate a reminder straight to your iPhone's Reminders. • Tally Counter - count anything: laps, reps, coffees, scores. • Coin Flip - heads or tails, settled. • Dice Roll - roll the dice (your choice of sides). • Ask The Orb - ask, shake, get your answer.

Apple Rejected My 99¢ Apple Watch App Twice

Wristmate is a 0.99 iPhone and Apple Watch app that finally lets you turn your own photos into custom watch face complications - including rotating photo sets, borders, zoom, and crop controls. In this full walkthrough I show you how to build a complication set, sync your photos to the Apple Watch, and tap a complication to instantly launch an action. Whether you're on an Apple Watch Ultra or a Series watch, Wristmate works on circular, rectangular, and square complications so you can personalize your watch face exactly the way you want. Beyond photo complications, Wristmate packs a set of handy Apple Watch shortcuts: start a workout, send or call a contact, set quick reminders and notes, search Maps, flip a coin, roll a dice, and the fun magic-8-ball-style "Ask the Orb." I also cover Apple's limitations, fast photo syncing, a live bug fix, and the story of getting the app approved after two rejections. If you're into Apple Watch customization, complications, watch face tips, and affordable indie apps, this one's for you.
