BrailleWatch is a simple and focused Apple Watch app that lets you feel the current time in Braille, using gentle haptic ticks and a clean, high-contrast dot display.
No menus. No clutter.
Just time you can touch.
BrailleWatch divides the watch screen into four Braille cells:
Top-left: Hour tens
Top-right: Hour ones
Bottom-left: Minute tens
Bottom-right: Minute ones
Slide your finger across the screen and the watch will respond with a soft tap whenever you cross a raised (active) dot.
BrailleWatch supports Direct Touch, so it works also when VoiceOver is on. Once the Braille area is activated, your finger movements are passed directly to the app for continuous tactile reading.
Features
• Full 4-cell Braille time display
• Gentle haptic feedback for each raised dot
• Works with VoiceOver (Direct Touch)
• Without VO completely silent — ideal for discreet use
• High-contrast neon dots for low-vision users
• You can place BrailleWatch as the top item in your Dock for quick access without VoiceOver
Important notes:
BrailleWatch is not a Watch Face. It is a standalone Apple Watch app, so it does not appear on your home screen and must be launched.
It also takes some practice to learn how to navigate your finger across the touchscreen and read the haptic ticks. With a little time, the technique becomes much more intuitive.
The Braille cells are 2x2, because only numbers are displayed and the lower dot row is not required.
