While smartwatch screens are obviously smaller, it is still sometimes time consuming, not to mention battery consuming, to tap and swipe down your menu, especially when you have a lot of apps and sub-folders on your wearable. Thank goodness for smartwatch app launchers eh? A new one called QiLaunch Wear is now available for beta testing, and it aims to just reduce the time and effort to look for apps but also preserve your Android Wear-run smartwatch’s battery life.

The way that the launcher works is quite different than other launchers. When you tap on your smartwatch, the app launches even if you don’t lift and tap or point and click on it. This allows you to see more content and choices on your screen and lets you see the apps available or the ones you use most often in just a glance. It will also be working on a precognition system that will try to predict what you will be doing and so it will give you the app or feature that it thinks you need.

According to Quantum Interface founder and CTO Jonathan Josephson, they have managed to create a “human interface” that woud “seamlessly and intuitively” connect the user to their technology, this time meaning smartwatches running on the Android Wear platform. There are plans to eventually bring it to other devices as well.

For now, the QiLaunch Wear is just available for private beta testing. If you want to be one of the first few to test this out, you need to fill up an application form on their site.

  1. “Availalbe”? “Woud”? Perhaps you should invest in a spell checker before, you know, posting anything.
