WristMSG for Google Chat
The missing Wear OS companion to start, manage, and send Google Chat messages from your wrist.
Why WristMSG?
Google Chat on Wear OS is currently limited to receiving notifications. WristMSG bridges the gap, allowing professional users to initiate conversations and send quick pings without reaching for their phone.
Key Features
- Initiate Messages: Start new DMs or Space messages using Voice-to-Text.
- Priority Contacts: Sync up to 5 favorite contacts for one-tap access.
- Wear OS Tiles: Swipe and tap to send pre-configured pings instantly.
- Zero-Server Architecture: Your data never touches our servers. The app works as a direct proxy between your phone and Google.
How WristMSG works
WristMSG does not log into your Google account and does not call the Google Chat API. It reads incoming Google Chat notifications on your phone using Android's standard Notification Listener permission (BIND_NOTIFICATION_LISTENER_SERVICE) — the same mechanism every notification-mirroring app on the Play Store uses — and forwards a minimal subset to your paired Wear OS watch. Your reply goes back through the notification's reply intent, the same path Google's own notification reply box uses.
The Notification Listener permission is used strictly inside the app. We do not store, log, or transmit your notification data externally. Only notifications from the official Google Chat package (com.google.android.apps.dynamite) are processed; all others are ignored.
For teams & IT administrators
WristMSG is suitable for deployment to managed device fleets via Managed Google Play. Zero-server architecture, no analytics SDKs, no DPA required (we collect no data). See the Deployment Guide for IT-admin documentation, or the Teams page for volume pricing inquiries.
