Apple Watch and Wear OS apps (coming soon)

Coming soon. The watch apps aren’t in the App Store or Play Store yet, and we’re still testing them on real watches. Until then, alerts from your phone show on a paired watch like any other notification.

The watch apps are for quick decisions, not for watching video. They’ll be included on Plus and Pro.

What you can do

• Switch mode: Home, Away or Night in one tap. It’s also a watch-face complication on Apple Watch and a tile on Wear OS that switches mode without opening the app.
• Make a camera private: a “Private at home” switch on each camera, with paused cameras marked.
• Snooze alerts: 30 minutes, an hour or until 7:00, with resume.
• Check the hub: whether it’s online, how many cameras are recording, and storage or backup issues.
• See recent events: person, vehicle, package and animal, each with its still snapshot. Mark them Seen or Star them.
• Live glance: every camera’s latest picture, refreshed every few seconds while the app is open, plus your latest alerts. Tap a camera for a bigger picture. These are still pictures, not video: the watch can’t open live video, clips or recordings.

Alerts on the watch have Mark seen, Star and Snooze 1 h buttons.

Pairing is automatic

Once the apps are out: on iPhone the watch app comes with the phone app; on Android, you’ll install Glimpo on the watch from the Play Store on the watch. Then open Glimpo on your phone while it’s signed in to your hub.

The phone pairs the watch as its own device with its own token, so it appears separately under Privacy & security → Sessions and can be revoked without signing out your phone. The hub address and token go to the watch over the encrypted phone-to-watch link. Nothing goes through Glimpo’s servers.

Away from home

The watch reaches your hub through your phone’s connection or Wi‑Fi, so away from home it connects the same way your phone does. See Remote access.

If the watch says…

• “Open Glimpo on your phone”: open the phone app once with the watch nearby.
• It was signed out: its session was revoked. Opening the phone app pairs it again.
