This video is sponsored by SquareSpace. Whether you need a domain, website, or online store, get it done with SquareSpace. Hi, I'm Chris! I really wanted to do this particular video because every time I come across a really awesome Apple Watch app that, by the way, isn't always available, it's hard to find, so I make a note of it and When I save enough, I do it. I turn it into an episode. This one is going to be really cool. I truly believe it has the potential to change the way you use and think about your Apple Watch.

The Apple Watch is one of the important devices in my life, whether it's Apple or not. I wake up to the alarm, the reminders keep me focused, the Siri

watch

face always knows what's ahead of me. I use it to control the audio on my TV, Homepod and Airpods. It always pushes me to burn more calories. It's my favorite way to text. I use it to get directions and the list goes on. Yes, the Apple Watch is fantastic out of the box. It's literally amazing, but adding the right

apps

to the powerful computer on your wrist can, in turn, make you a little more powerful too.

Now, when you think of Apple Watch

apps

, you probably think of health apps first, which is fine. I don't blame you, this is a very health and fitness focused device. But I'm really excited about Apple Watch apps that are more about productivity and actual content. So, that's the type of apps that I've put together in this video with one exception. Before we really get into this, there are a few things I want to talk about, I want to talk about the state of Apple Watch apps in general because it's interesting. Also, I want to get everyone up to speed on all the great Apple Watch apps I've mentioned in the channel so far, so I'm going to jump into them real quick and just so you know I'm going to be putting timestamps on everything I'm talking about in the channel. description, so if you want to jump right to the apps that you searched for, feel free to do so and at the end of the video, I'll answer some of the questions that you guys just submitted.

I've

been

sitting here recording this video. Wondering about the shirt? Mustard's last battle? If you ever come to Colorado, especially if you are a vegetarian, you have to go here. Good apps for Apple Watch are a little hard to find, even for me. If you search the official Apple Watch App Store for the Apple Watch app on your iPhone, you might think, "Wow, there really aren't that many Apple Watch apps available," but some of the

best

apps aren't the ones featured in the store. official. Okay, well, if they're not there, where are they? Well, every now and then you can come across a good one listed on one of the Apple blogs, or you can find one on an Apple Watch subreddit, or maybe you can find more on a community site like Product Hunt.

But they're kind of spread out all over the place. Unfortunately, several official apps have

been

disappearing from the platform recently. As if there were no longer official Twitter or Instagram applications, for example. Although there are some good alternatives and I am going to talk about one of them below. But even though it may be a little difficult to find some of the new and unique Apple Watch apps and maybe not focused on health and fitness, and even though some big companies are removing their apps from the platform, there are still some really great developers. creating some thoughtful and useful applications.

But first, let me mention six of my favorite Apple Watch apps that I already covered on the channel; there are many more. I'm going to link you to the videos where I've covered them all, if you want to see them, down in the description. Because these are just essential elements that you need to know before moving on to the new applications. Nano, gives you a pretty awesome Reddit experience right on your wrist. Seriously, it's something amazing. Drafts is basically known as the fastest way to record notes, on any Apple device, and on the Apple Watch that's no different, it's one of the

best

Apple Watch apps of all time.

Cheatsheet is super unique. It allows you to set a mini note as a complication on your

watch

, so your important information is always at hand. Hindsight is a great way to keep track of how long it's been since you did something. Drink a cup of coffee, or exercise, whatever. It's fast and it's surprising. Numerics is a business data platform that helps you keep track of important numbers and it's great to have those numbers on your wrist. I use it to track YouTube subscribers and other important YouTube metrics. Finally, Just Press Record is amazing for recording audio very quickly.

It has saved my butt many times. So let's get into the new apps starting with Bear, which is a note-taking app that you may have heard of before Watch support was recently added. It's one of the most feature-rich Apple Watch apps I've ever seen. It really makes great use of everything Apple allows you to do, which is actually a bit limited. Although I've been very dedicated to the Apple Notes app for years and you should check out my Apple Notes video if you haven't seen it yet. I recently made the switch to Bear, because I love the interface and all the options and the look, and a big part of the reason I decided to try it is because it works with the Apple Watch and Apple Notes doesn't.

Carrying your Apple Watch is very simple. The first thing you see when you open it is a new note button that will allow you to dictate a new note. If you press deeply on that button, you'll also have the option to scribble a new note. In case you are in a place where you cannot speak. Below you can scroll through the last ten notes that remain saved at all times. That's great because you'll be able to see what you've been working on most recently. If you have pinned notes, which pin a note to the top of the notes list, then they will appear here too, but they count towards your ten note limit, so if you have ten pinned notes, that's all you'll see. .
