Play Store

To install Wristkey quickly onto your Wear OS watch, simply open the Play Store and search for "Wristkey", or open this link on your watch. All devices running Android 7.0 Nougat and above are supported.

Sideloading

For an older device (such as the legendary LG G Watch running the lenok2dory ROM), sideloading is the only way to install Wristkey.

  1. Enable Developer options on your watch by tapping About > Build Number 7 times, then open Developer Options and enable ADB.
  2. Install ADB on your computer if you haven't already. You can use this guide.
  3. Connect your Wear OS device to your computer via USB and confirm the connection on your Wear OS device by accepting the USB debugging prompt. If you'd like to use Wi-Fi, enable "Debug over Wi-Fi". Find out your watch's IP address from Settings > Wi-Fi, and run the following command
adb connect <device ip>:5555
  1. Download the latest APK from the Releases page and run
adb install app-release.apk

To transfer data from your phone to your watch, you can follow the same steps, since Wristkey is cross-platform.

I wrote this app in college so that I could log into GitLab and back up my projects from the on-campus computer labs (and to flex my UI skills a bit).

Please don't judge too harshly. 😇
