Frequently Asked Questions
Does Simple Watch Face need network or runtime permissions?
No. The current repository describes a resource-only Watch Face Format application with no runtime permissions, networking, or app-owned background work.
What can I customize?
The current design includes optional date, six accent colors, an optional outer accent ring, and three user-configurable complication slots.
Why is this page marked in development?
The repository preserves an existing package identity, but current source still documents WFF validation, release-bundle, and device-test gates. The site therefore does not claim that this rebuilt version is currently rolled out on Google Play.
