Getting Started

Build & pair Tabby Watch

The most glanceable surface in the family: a focus ring, a Checkpoint quick-add, +5 extend, and Pause/Resume — reading the same account as the phone and the extension.

Galaxy Watch 6 (Wear OS 4) — sideloaded, no store listing yet
There's no store listing yet. Getting Tabby Watch onto a Galaxy Watch 6 means cloning the repo, building a debug APK, and sideloading it over Wi-Fi ADB — a developer-style install, labeled honestly as a sideload beta. Clock in/out isn't on the watch yet either; do that from your phone or the desktop.
1

Build it

Clone tabatha-watch, then run .\gradlew.bat :app:assembleDebug (needs JDK 17 and Android SDK 34). The APK lands at app\build\outputs\apk\debug\app-debug.apk.

2

Enable developer mode on the watch

Settings → About watch → Software → tap Software version 7 times.

3

Enable Wi-Fi debugging

Settings → Developer options → turn on ADB debugging and Debug over Wi-Fi; note the IP:port it shows.

4

Install it

From your PC: adb connect <watch-ip>:<port>, then adb -s <watch-ip>:<port> install -r app\build\outputs\apk\debug\app-debug.apk.

5

Pair it

Open Tabby Watch — it runs in preview mode until paired. See Pairing devices for the 6-digit code flow.

6

Add the Tile and complication

From the watch face's own customization menu, so your focus and remaining time show without opening the app.
