Wear Gesture Launcher - WearOS

About this app

Gesture launcher for Android Wear OS

Forget about swiping that long list of small icons. Just tap, draw, and done!

*** For Samsung Galaxy Watch 4 users:
There will be a permanent notification about the overlay if the quick launcher is enabled, this is an annoying Samsung system wide feature that cannot be disabled for now. You can however disable the quick launcher overlay in the app's settings, and then make the app as a side button shortcut in the system settings for quicker access.

Ratings and reviews

A very good idea and quite a good implementation! Thanks a lot. There are issues however that I would like to point out: 1. Major - I understand its a gesture launcher, but if we speak shapes or letters, it shouldnt depend where you start it. E.g. when drawing triangle for Play Store, you have to draw it in exact order, not just a triangle. 2. Moderate - overlay is also active on keyboard, meaning you cannot use certain keys, unless you are swyping. 3. Minor - Sometimes the app is getting killed

I really like this app, I would gladly pay for it but there are 2 things that are annoying IMHO. it requires "draw over" permission. If I enable it I have a permanent notification complaining about this permission, if I disable it I can't open the settings because it asks for the permission right away. I decided to turn off the above permission, I start the app by pressing a button, it takes around 5 seconds to start tho

Using the app is definitely fun but completely useless in real :) Sign recognition works surprisingly nice - even if u draw your sign very wrong it will recognize it in most cases! But the recognition of tap to run the app is surprisingly bad. After four days of use i still need 5-10 attempts to succeed. And also swipe, from that side (which you set up to tap) gets to work very bad. And unskipable notification... That's just weird. So, to run your app in usual way will be way faser and easier.

What’s new

New settings option for action confirmation delay, better action connectivity between wear and mobile.
Added Tasker and mobile app support; Better overall experience, bug fixed for Long Press disable.
