We’re excited to announce a powerful new addition to Pillow’s sleep tracking experience: Live Activities on the Apple Watch. Building on our popular Live Activities support on iPhone, we’ve now brought the same seamless real-time updates to your wrist.
Why Live Activities on Apple Watch?
We believe that the best way to understand and manage your sleep health is to have the information you need right where and when you need it. With Live Activities on Apple Watch, you can:
- Quickly Monitor Your Sleep Session: Stay informed about the status of your ongoing sleep tracking session without navigating through multiple screens. Just glance at your watch, and you’ll know exactly where you stand—whether you’re sleeping, in a pause state, or nearing your wake-up time.
- Launch Pillow in One Tap: Need to quickly return to Pillow? Tap on the Live Activity to launch Pillow.
How It Works
- Start Your Session: Begin a sleep session on your iPhone or directly on your Apple Watch.
- Automatic Live Activity: Once your session is running, the Live Activity will appear automatically on your Apple Watch. It mirrors the behavior you’re familiar with on iPhone, ensuring a consistent, unified experience.
- Pause and Resume: If you need to pause tracking—maybe you’re momentarily getting out of bed—the Live Activity will immediately reflect this state change on your Apple Watch. When you resume tracking, the Live Activity updates in real-time.
- Customization Options: Prefer not to see Live Activities? No problem. You can turn this feature off in the configuration settings for each of your presets, giving you full control over your tracking environment.
Compatibility and Availability
Live Activities on Apple Watch requires watchOS 11 and iOS 18 or newer. This feature is available to both free and subscribed users, so everyone can enjoy easier access to their sleep data.
The Future of Convenient Sleep Tracking
Live Activities on the Apple Watch is just another step in our commitment to make sleep tracking simpler, more intuitive, and readily accessible. By bringing this feature to your wrist, we’re ensuring that you have the insights you need, when you need them, to make informed decisions about your sleep.
Update to the latest version of Pillow and experience more convenient, real-time sleep tracking right from your Apple Watch—because a great night’s sleep is always worth keeping an eye on.
