Updated over 2 weeks ago

What You Can Do

The Hedy Watch app puts session controls on your wrist:

  • Start, pause, and stop sessions without reaching for your phone

  • Mark important moments with a quick tap to create highlights

  • View coaching tips as they arrive during your conversations

  • Check session status including elapsed time and recording state

Getting Started

The Watch app installs automatically when you have Hedy on your iPhone:

  1. Make sure Hedy is installed on your iPhone

  2. Your Apple Watch must be paired with your iPhone

  3. The Hedy Watch app appears automatically in your app list

  4. If the app is not automatically installed, you can do so from the Watch app on your iPhone.

  5. Open Hedy on your Watch to start using it

Smart Stack Widget

Add Hedy to your Watch's Smart Stack for quick glances at your session status. The widget intelligently shows different information based on what's happening:

  • During recording: Shows a green indicator with elapsed time

  • When paused: Shows a yellow indicator with elapsed time

  • With coaching tips: Displays new tips so you can see them at a glance

  • When idle: Shows "Tap to start coaching"

Tap the widget anytime to open the Hedy Watch app.

Live Activity on Your Watch

When you have an active session, the Live Activity appears in your Smart Stack showing real-time status. If you receive a coaching tip during your conversation, it will appear here so you can quickly glance at actionable advice without interrupting your flow.

Requirements

  • Apple Watch Series 4 or later

  • watchOS 9.0 or later

  • iPhone 8 or later with iOS 16.1+

  • Hedy app installed on your iPhone

Tip: For best results, keep your iPhone nearby. The Watch app communicates with your phone to control sessions, though commands will queue and deliver even if your phone is temporarily out of range.
