Weavelet is an offline-first music player for Wear OS. It brings local music browsing and playback to the watch, with controls designed for the wrist.

A watch-first interaction

The app supports library scanning, shuffle and repeat, crown-based volume control, and quick access through Tiles and Complications. Compose for Wear OS provides the interface; Media3 handles playback.

Engineering around the form factor

A watch offers little screen space and several ways to interact. Weavelet connects touch, crown input, and system entry points around the same player. Kotlin, Coroutines, and Horologist support the implementation.
