About this app

SyncBoard makes typing on your Wear OS watch faster, easier, and more comfortable.

When a text field is active on your watch, SyncBoard can bring the writing experience to your phone. Type naturally on your phone's full-size keyboard, then send the text straight back to the active field on your watch. It is a simple, practical way to write messages, searches, replies, notes, and more without struggling with a tiny screen.

You can also type directly on the watch whenever you prefer. SyncBoard includes a configurable on-watch keyboard designed for compact displays, so you can choose the input method that suits the moment.

### Write the way you want

- Type for your watch from a convenient phone notification or editor.
- Use the built-in on-watch keyboard when your phone is not nearby.
- Choose from multiple keyboard layouts, including Turkish Q, Turkish F, English Q, German QWERTZ, French AZERTY, Spanish, Italian, Portuguese, Russian, Greek, Polish, Scandinavian layouts, and more.
- Select your preferred default input mode and switch modes whenever needed.
- Use optional number rows, long-press characters, wider text previews, adjustable key sizes, text sizes, and row spacing.

### Get more done with less typing

- Create quick replies for frequently used messages.
- Add text shortcuts that expand into longer phrases, addresses, signatures, or other repeated text.
- Access emoji and text emoticons from the keyboard.
- Paste text from your phone clipboard into the active watch field.
- Use phone dictation to turn speech into text for your watch.
- Optionally use camera text recognition (OCR) on your phone to capture printed text and send it to the watch.
- Keep an optional local history of recent sent messages for easy reuse.
- Get helpful text suggestions when enabled.

### Built around your Wear OS experience

SyncBoard works with the active input field on your paired Wear OS watch. Whether you are replying to a message, entering a search, filling in a form, or writing a short note, the app helps you use the most comfortable keyboard available.

The watch keyboard supports useful interaction options such as haptic feedback, cursor movement with the rotating crown where available, swipe gestures, configurable themes, and optional text-to-speech features. You can also personalize the keyboard with ready-made color themes or create your own custom look.

### Privacy and control

Your privacy matters. By default, password and PIN fields stay on your watch and are not sent to your phone. If you choose to enable password typing from the phone, sensitive text is handled separately and is never added to send history. Message history itself is optional and can be cleared at any time.

Many features are optional, so you can keep SyncBoard lightweight and enable only what you need. Dictation, suggestions, text-to-speech, camera OCR, gestures, and history can all be managed from settings.

### Easy setup

1. Install SyncBoard on your Android phone and paired Wear OS watch.
2. Open SyncBoard on the watch and enable SyncBoard Keyboard in the Android keyboard settings.
3. Choose SyncBoard as your current watch keyboard.
4. Tap a text field on the watch and type from your phone or directly on the watch.

SyncBoard is designed for Wear OS users who want a smoother, more flexible way to type. Make your watch feel more capable — one message at a time.
