What is flutterwatch?

flutterwatch brings the Flutter framework to Apple Watch. Write your app in Dart with the widgets and packages you already use, then build and run it on the watchOS Simulator or a paired Apple Watch — with hot reload and DevTools, exactly like Flutter for iOS or Android.

It is a standalone CLI that wraps an unmodified Flutter SDK and a pre-built watchOS engine, so there's no custom Flutter checkout to maintain. watchOS is a first-class platform at both build and runtime, which keeps plugins and cross-platform apps clean.

Highlights

  • 🛠️ A drop-in CLI — the flutter commands you know (create, run, build, doctor), retargeted to watchOS.
  • ⚡ Hot reload & DevTools — the same inner loop, on the watchOS Simulator.
  • ⌚ Real Apple Watch — build and run on a paired watch in profile or release.
  • 🧩 watchOS is its own platform — first-class at build and runtime, so plugins and cross-platform apps stay clean.

Get started

# 1. install the toolchain
git clone https://github.com/flutterwatch/flutter-watchos.git

# 2. connect your account + fetch the engine

# 3. build your first watch app
