Prompt

Shows a question from the companion app with Yes and No buttons, and sends back the answer tapped on the watch.

Using it

  • Prompt is a temporary app: the companion app runs it without installing it, so it never shows in the launcher.
  • When a question arrives the app opens over whatever the watch shows and turns the screen on.
  • Tap Yes or No. The watch gives a short buzz, tells the phone the answer and goes back to the screen it covered.
  • Clicking the side button goes back without answering, and so does the phone disconnecting.
  • Without a question the app says the phone sent none.

Screens

The prompt asking "Leave now?" with No and Yes buttons

The phone's question, with No and Yes underneath.

The prompt with no question

No question from the phone.

With the companion app

  • On a computer, battletime ask "Leave for the station now?" asks the question with the companion's command line tool and waits for a tap.
  • It prints yes or no, with a different exit status for each, so a script can act on the answer.
  • Without a tap within 60 seconds, or the time given with --timeout, it closes the question on the watch and gives up.
