Clair on your Wear OS watch

• A watch running Wear OS 4 or later, paired with your Android phone.
• Clair on both. The watch app is a companion: prompts reach it through Clair on your phone, so the phone needs to be paired with your computer first.

A permission prompt names the tool and shows exactly what it wants to do, such as the command it would run or the file it would edit. Then pick an answer:

• Allow lets it run this once.
• Allow for session lets it run for the rest of the session.
• Allow & remember accepts the rule Claude Code suggests, like every go test run, so it stops asking.
• Deny asks why. Dictate or type a reason and Claude reads it, or send the denial without one.

When Claude asks you to choose, each option arrives with its description. Scroll with the crown and pick one, or several when Claude allows it. Other lets you type or dictate an answer of your own. A question with several parts goes one step at a time.

A long plan opens on a digest: its opening lines, then a button for each section. Tap a section to read from its heading, or Read full plan for all of it. Every word in the digest is the plan's own, since Clair doesn't summarize it, and a plan that takes a minute or less to read opens whole.

Then answer with the choices the terminal gives you:

• Yes, and use auto mode
• Yes, auto-accept edits
• Yes, manually approve edits
• No, keep planning, with a note on what should change

Add the Clair tile and a swipe from the watch face shows what needs you. It changes with what's going on:

• One prompt waiting: that prompt, a tap from answering it.
• Several waiting: a row for each. Answer one and the next one opens.
• Claude working: what it's doing now, such as Reading, Editing or Testing, over a strip of its latest tool calls.
• Turn finished: how it went, such as Tests passed · 4 files, Build failed or Committed.
• More than one session running: a row for each session.

Tile detail, in the watch's settings, sets how much the tile and complication say. Detailed shows commands, files and questions. Normal shows projects and activity without the arguments. Private shows counts and states only.

Put Clair on a watch face and it counts the sessions waiting for you. With nothing waiting, it shows how many sessions are working, idle or ended instead, and Off when the watch can't reach your phone. Its ring is your token usage in the current five-hour window. Faces with room for the long version also show the seven-day window.

On faces that color the ring, it runs from green to red as the window fills, and it empties when the window resets. A tap opens the oldest prompt waiting for you. With none waiting, it opens the session it's counting, or your session list when the count covers more than one.

Where the usage comes from

On Wear OS 6 or later, Clair comes with a watch face of its own, Clair Chrono. It's a chronograph whose three small dials track your Claude Code limits: your five-hour window and your weekly window, each with the time left until it resets, and how full your current session's context window is, with its project named underneath. The window under 12 shows what your sessions are doing and how many need an answer. Tap it to open the oldest prompt waiting.

On each dial, the red arc marks the last 20%. Edit the face to tell the time with hands or digits.

Clair installs the face along with the watch app. To switch to it, tap Clair Chrono in Clair's settings on the watch. The app can make that switch for you once, so after that, touch and hold your watch face and choose Clair Chrono. If you removed the face, the same row adds it back.

The three dials are complications in their own right: Clair 5-hour usage, Clair weekly usage and Clair context window. Put them on any face with a slot for them, which is how you get them on Wear OS 4 and 5.

On Wear OS 7, Clair follows a Claude Code turn with a Live Update: Starting, then Working, then Done. When Claude Code is waiting on you, it reads Needs you, with the prompt's headline. A finished turn stays at Done for a minute.

With several sessions under way, the Live Update shows a chip for each one, such as "api · Testing" or "docs · Needs you", under a strip colored by which sessions are working, idle or waiting on you. Sessions waiting on you come first. Tap a chip to open that session, or the prompt it's waiting on.

Before Wear OS 7, Clair shows your sessions as an ongoing activity instead, without the stages or the chips.

Leave the phone at home and take the watch for a run. If the watch has its own Wi-Fi or LTE connection, prompts keep reaching it over the internet once the phone is out of Bluetooth range, and your answers go back the same way. The phone still does the work from wherever you left it, so it has to stay on and online.

The Phone card in the watch's settings says which it is: Connected nearby, Connected over the internet, or Disconnected. Disconnected means the watch can't reach the phone at all.

Between the phone and the watch, prompts travel over Wear OS's own connection, which runs through Google's servers when the two aren't within Bluetooth range. Clair's end-to-end encryption covers the path from your computer to your phone.
