WristBuddy

Now live! Check your phone battery, network, and silent state from your Apple Watch.

Know your phone's status without picking it up.

WristBuddy lives on your Apple Watch and shows what your iPhone is doing right now: battery level, charging state, Wi-Fi and cellular connectivity, motion, silent mode, and Focus state — all glanceable from your wrist.

WHAT'S FREE • Battery range (Below 20% / 20-50% / 50-90% / Above 90%) • Watch dashboard with stale-snapshot indicator • "Hey Siri, ring my iPhone with WristBuddy"

UNLOCK PRO (pay once, yours forever) • Exact battery percentage and charging state • Wi-Fi and Cellular connectivity (separate rows) • Motion detection — is the iPhone being touched right now? • Silent and Focus mode • Distance from your iPhone (UWB; iPhone 11+ paired with Apple Watch S6+) • Air pressure — barometric pressure (hPa) from your iPhone's barometer • Thermal state — whether your iPhone is running Normal / Fair / Serious / Critical • Apple Watch screen on iPhone — see your Watch's battery from your iPhone • Reorderable status rows — drag to reorder which features show on your Watch • Lock Screen Live Activity — both batteries and link state pinned to your iPhone Lock Screen and Dynamic Island • Get iPhone Status shortcut for Shortcuts automations

WHY WRISTBUDDY • Pay once. Never a subscription. • No account. No sign-up. • No cloud. No analytics. No tracking. No third-party SDKs. • Everything stays on your iPhone and Apple Watch. • Privacy nutrition label: Data Not Collected — every category unchecked.

PRIVACY BY DESIGN WristBuddy uses Apple's built-in WatchConnectivity framework, so your iPhone and Apple Watch talk directly to each other over Bluetooth or local Wi-Fi. No data ever leaves your devices. There is no WristBuddy server, because there isn't one.

REQUIREMENTS • iPhone running iOS 16 or later (iOS 16.1+ for the Lock Screen Live Activity) • Apple Watch running watchOS 9 or later • UWB distance feature requires iPhone 11+ and Apple Watch Series 6+ • Dynamic Island layout requires iPhone 14 Pro or newer

Open the iPhone app once, then forget about it — the iPhone responds in the background. Open the Watch app to see everything at a glance.
