Custom vibrations & sounds for Wear OS notifications

BETA of re-implementation of the original Feel The Wear for modern Wear OS 3, 4 and 5 watches and Android phones, with full Material You support. Bugs are expected, so report them via email please. App is paid only, and the price will increase in the future when we add more features.

Weak vibrations on your Wear watch? Do you miss notifications? Feel The Wear 2 allows you to set custom vibrations and sounds for your apps’ notifications.

Watch vibrating a 1-2 seconds before the notification shows-up on the watch is normal, the app is fast :)

  • we support only modern Android phone versions and Wear OS 3 and newer.
  • pre-defined vibration patterns and sounds – fully custom ones will be added in the future
  • quiet hours for people who do not charge every day
  • configurable behavior when watch is charging or in a dock
  • no vibration for ongoing/permanent/progress notifications
  • full Material You support with dynamic colors
  • not all the feature from the original Feel The Wear are there yet, but more will come in the future

App needs a permission to read the phone’s notifications and will ask for this on the app’s first start. The watch can vibrate even a second before the notification arrives into your watch. This is because the watch will vibrate at the time a notification arrives into your phone, and it could take some time for a notification to show-up on the watch.

You also need to install the watch part of the app. Once you can successfully test the vibration patterns from the phone app, the watch will vibrate as expected.

Also disable background battery optimizations on your phone for Feel The Wear, otherwise the app will be killed while in the background and will not react to incoming notifications.

App does not make physically stronger vibrations. It is not possible to make the vibrating motor stronger via an app, it depends on the watch’s hardware and firmware.

This Wear OS app was made for us and released to the public. Enjoy!

Notice

If you experience double vibrations then set no sound and no vibration in the 3rd party app’s settings for its notifications.
