WatchIt!

Mon, 09 Jul 2012 05:22:19 +0000

WatchIt! will pickup up Notifications and Toasts from all your existing applications and display them for you in various ways.

Currently there is support for SmartWatch (such as the Sony NM2), MetaWatch, Smart Wireless Headset Pro (MW1) and the new DayDream feature of Android 4.2 - see the screenshot above for an example of what is shown when an email arrives. This works on phones as well as tablets (and most likely anything else running 4.2) - select it as any other DayDream.

Just follow the instructions shown when you start the app to enable them and then fine tune.

(Also, the icon will watch over you and protect you from the evil eye.)

NOTE: You MUST turn on Accessibility for this app to work at all. The DayDream is turned on separately in the usual place.

Please encourage those who build the notifications to improve their messages if you want more text to be shown.

Please use the feedback button as it is impossible to respond to reviews.
