About these guides

Written from the work, with the evidence in view.

Wristvia is an independent project building a companion for selected Android notifications, phone media controls and watch health data. These guides draw on the project’s recorded tests with one Honor phone and one Apple Watch, and link to official documentation for platform requirements.

Maintained by Tomas Norkus. We distinguish observed behavior, implemented changes and unresolved tests. Product artwork is illustrative; it is not proof of a device result. The project is an early prototype with no public download yet.
