Show HN: Wrist/off – launch button for your Apple Watch

4 var_ww_egg 0 6/9/2025, 4:09:05 PM wristoff.com ↗

I have built a little app that allows you to set up "launch buttons" for your watch. That could be to deploy via a webhook, ping a URL or various things you can do with a HTTP request. You can customise the button (colours, labels, headers, etc). For the watchless, it also works boringly on the phone too.

I built this before I had useless watch that just told me the time or that I needed to stand up even though it would endanger my life (room of ceiling spikes). I wondered how I can live like Buck Rogers until I realised it was Dick Tracy who did that stuff, but it's close enough.

You can get it here: https://wristoff.com or direct from the App Store: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/wrist-off/id6745457315.

I launched live from WWDC, where it upstaged a lot of the presentation, see: https://bsky.app/profile/darkpie.bsky.social/post/3lr6r4tr23...

If you have any feedback, please let me know. I'd like it to be fun and useful, but if not both, then neither will do. Bye!
