Apple Watch

CollieWatch installs with the iPhone app. It holds no keys and never talks to collied: everything goes through the iPhone, which works while it is locked.

In the watch app

  • Pending approvals, with the command and a countdown.
  • Agents, as the iPhone last saw them, like the Inbox.
  • Usage, with each window's percentage and reset countdown.

The watch asks the iPhone for fresh approvals when it opens, at most once a minute unless an approval alert opened it.

Deciding from the watch

Approvals are read-only on the watch until you turn on Settings > Apple Watch > Decide from Apple Watch on the iPhone, which needs Face ID or the passcode. Then:

  • the watch must be unlocked and on your wrist;
  • decisions are made in the watch app, never from the alert itself;
  • there is no Approve always on the watch.

The iPhone checks the setting again and only sends an answer it showed the watch.

Complication and widget

  • The circular complication has three rings, outer to inner: Claude 5-hour, Claude weekly and Codex monthly. A ring's length is the percentage used, and its color moves from green through yellow, orange and red as usage grows. A white tick marks the elapsed share of each window.
  • The Plan usage widget in the Smart Stack, also available as a rectangular complication, shows three gauges with the provider's logo and a reset countdown. A small orange dot marks readings at least 30 minutes old.

Tap either one to open a compact usage list. They refresh about every 15 minutes when watchOS allows it.
