Back in July 2014 when I was doing my research work for the scholarly publication  of my Computer Systems Engineering graduation, I got intrigued by Android Wear watches. I remember watching the  Google IO in which they showed off the upcoming watches and the cool new ways we could interact with our phones. At the time of Google IO I didn't pay much attention to Android wear and focused completely on my research. However at the launch of Android wear, I saw LG G watch and Moto 360, the later was planned to be released a few months later. I was fascinated by the cool design of Moto 360 and got interested in wear development. I looked at the workings of Wear OS & to my surprise, Google didn't include a handy application launcher considering Android Wear was all about enhancing user experience and keeping us away from our phones when necessary. The only way one could launch an app was via voice, otherwise you had to dig deep into the system to get to list of installed apps.

Swipify is designed to allow you to easily switch between recent apps & launch apps. Swipify provides an intuitive recent app switcher & a unified launcher like the one you are used to use on your phones . There are 3 styles of launchers. You can select the one which suits your personality. To use multitasker, swipe from the right edge of the screen. To open the launcher, swipe from the left edge of the screen. There is also a quick settings option in the launcher that provides a slew of options that help you automate and control your phone from your smart watch. Music controls can be accessed from Quick settings to control your music from your smart watch. Swipify notifies you if you left your phone behind. It lets you find it by phone finder feature. There are lots of easter eggs spri
