Custom apps

A watch app built to your brief.

Sports clubs, coaches, companies, researchers and people with one very specific wish: if the app you need is not in the store, GerrOS builds it. Garmin Connect IQ or Wear OS, fixed price, fixed scope.

You work directly with the person who designed, built and shipped the 51 apps on this site, so the Garmin quirks, review rules and small-screen habits are already solved.

Start with a brief

A few lines are enough. You get a fixed quote and a one-page scope back.

Packages

Three sizes, one fixed quote each.

Every project gets a fixed quote after the brief, so the price is known before anything is built. A second platform (Garmin and Wear OS) or publication under your own name is simply added to the quote.

Watch face

1–2 weeksFixed quote

Your design or brand on the dial. Complications, colours, one platform, two revision rounds.

App

2–4 weeksFixed quote

One job done properly: a calculation, timer, tracker or tool with settings and a glance. One platform.

App + backend

4–8 weeksFixed quote

An app that talks to something: a server, an API, a live scoreboard or a shared ranking.

Process

From brief to wrist in six steps.

  1. BriefMail what the app should do, for whom, on which watches and by when. A 20-minute call if it is easier to talk.
  2. QuoteWithin a few days you get a fixed price and a one-page scope: screens, features, devices, languages.
  3. BuildHalf up front, then the app gets built. You see simulator screenshots and short videos along the way.
  4. ReviseTwo revision rounds are included. Extra changes are quoted by the hour before they are made.
  5. DeliverThe finished app, published in the store under your name or delivered as a file to sideload. Rest of the invoice on delivery.
  6. Support30 days of bug fixes included. After that, a small monthly plan or per-hour fixes, your choice.

Good fits

What people ask for.

Clubs and coaches

A club watch face, a training protocol on the wrist, a score tracker for your sport with your rules.

Companies

A branded watch face as merchandise, or an internal tool: a shift logger, a checklist, a timer that follows your procedure.

Research and study

Collect heart rate, movement or answers on the watch and export them cleanly for analysis.

One-off wishes

The app you searched the store for and never found. If it fits on a watch, it can be built.

Ports

Already have a Garmin app? Bring it to Wear OS, or the other way round.

Rescue jobs

An existing Connect IQ app that crashes, fails review or needs new devices. Fixed and shipped.

Questions

The practical part.

Who owns the app?

You do, once the final invoice is paid. Source code is available for an extra fee if you want to keep building on it yourself.

Can it go in the Connect IQ Store or Google Play?

Yes. It can be published under your own developer account, or under GerrOS if you prefer. Store review is outside my control, but I build to the guidelines and have had every one of my own apps approved.

Which watches?

All Garmin models that run Connect IQ, and Wear OS watches. Tell me which models matter and the quote will list exactly which ones are covered.

What about data and privacy?

By default everything stays on the watch, like my own apps. If the app needs a server, that is scoped and priced separately.

How is the price built up?

From the hours the brief needs: screens, features, devices and languages. You get one fixed price for the whole scope before anything is built, so the risk of overrun is mine, not yours.

Do you do NDAs and invoices?

Yes. GerrOS is a registered Dutch company; you get a proper invoice, VAT reverse-charged for EU businesses.
