Feel The Wear is an Android app designed to enhance your smartwatch's notification experience by providing customizable vibration patterns.

Experience Smartwatch Notifications on a New Level

Feel The Wear is a unique Android app that aims to transform the way you receive and perceive notifications on your smartwatch. It enables you to assign different vibration patterns to your apps, so you can distinguish them without looking at your smartwatch. This app is easy to use: just connect your smartwatch via Bluetooth, sync the vibration, and you're ready to customize your notification settings.

Vibrant Vibration Patterns

Feel The Wear offers seven preset vibration patterns, including one, two, or three long blasts; one, two, or three short blasts, and a very short one. You can assign these patterns to individual apps, helping you recognize the source of the notification through the length and number of vibrations. This feature brings a new level of intuitiveness to your smartwatch experience.

Test and Adjust Your Settings

The app provides the convenience of testing these vibration options directly, allowing you to fine-tune your preferences for an optimal experience. It also includes a feature to silence notifications when your smartwatch is charging or during specific times to avoid distractions. By simply pressing the mute button, you can mute all vibrations while preserving your customized settings.

Maximize Your Smartwatch's Potential

For those looking to harness the full potential of their smartwatch, especially in the context of notifications, Feel The Wear is an invaluable tool. It provides a simple yet effective way of personalizing your smartwatch's notification system to better suit your needs and preferences.

Potentially dangerous permissions

  • READ_CONTACTS: Allows an application to read the user's contacts data.
  • READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE: Allows an application to read from external storage.
  • READ_PHONE_STATE: Allows read only access to phone state, including the phone number of the device, current cellular network information, the status of any ongoing calls, and a list of any PhoneAccounts registered on the device.

Other permissions

  • RECEIVE_BOOT_COMPLETED: Allows an application to receive the ACTION_BOOT_COMPLETED that is broadcast after the system finishes booting. If you don't request this permission, you will not receive the broadcast at that time. Though holding this permission does not have any security implications, it can have a negative impact on the user experience by increasing the amount of time it takes the system to start and allowing applications to have themselves running without the user being aware of them. As such, you must explicitly declare your use of this facility to make that visible to the user.
  • VIBRATE: Allows access to the vibrator.
  • WAKE_LOCK: Allows using PowerManager WakeLocks to keep processor from sleeping or screen from dimming.
