Hey hunters,
Chill is a contextual communication app for wearable devices that solves the pain of dialling and reading textual information from the tiny screens of wearables.
I had a Pebble myself and the communication experience there sucked a lot.
Not much changed with introduction of Watch.
Chill brings a textless and voiceless communication experience to wearables.
Instead of writing:
“Waiting at Starbucks” - send a “coffee mug” icon
“Running late” - send a “rocket” icon.
Context makes the “pings” you make powerful.
The icon of a “rocket” in a context of you sitting in a plane might mean “Taking off. Will hit you up as soon as landed.”
What makes Chill stand out from its many competitors (Yo!, Red/Green, Mission, Hop)? Even for the short-form texting use case...I get that there are 6 emojis instead of just the one in Yo!, but it's really not much slower to go to Messages (more emoji flexibility, too).
@bryantpeng great question!
Here is the answer on the YO case, haha http://yosucks.com/
While YO is YO about everything - Chill makes contextual communication richer by specifying the context to the recepient.
The "Messages" case doesn't really work for wearables as they are not designed for wearables from the very beginning. Chill was designed for Watch and Wear and only after that optimised for the phone.
Chill gives you a set of "hot" icons to use and you will be able to choose from more in a few releases.
@kirillchekanov Ah ok, it wasn't immediately obvious from the App Store listing that it's targeted towards wearables (it's on the website but not everyone will see that). Kind of strange for you to launch without an Apple Watch app though.
