Which wearable platforms do you support?

watchOS and Wear OS are the primary targets, often with an iOS or Android companion. We scope complications, health permissions, and battery budgets early.

What does Smart TV development include?

tvOS and Android TV (and Fire TV where needed): focus engine navigation, large typography, trailer playback, profiles, and leanback layouts. We design for the remote, not a mirrored phone UI.

Do wearables need a companion phone app?

Usually yes for onboarding, settings, and heavy media. Independent watch apps are possible for focused use cases — we recommend based on offline needs and platform rules.

How do you handle performance and battery on watches?

Short sessions, deferred sync, complication budgets, and careful sensor use. We profile on device and avoid always-on work that drains the day.

Can you extend an existing mobile product to watch or TV?

Yes. We extract shared APIs and auth, then design surface-specific UX — glanceable on watch, cinematic on TV — instead of shrinking the phone screens.

What is Zupitrix’s role on wearable and TV projects?

We define surface jobs, interaction design, platform engineering, device-lab QA, and launch — so each screen does the job phones cannot.

Beyond the phone.
On wrist and screen.

Zupitrix designs wearable and Smart TV experiences — glanceable watch complications, living-room navigation, and companion apps that keep users in your product when the phone is in another room. Battery budgets and ten-foot UX are product requirements, not afterthoughts.

Surfaces

Wearables, Smart TVs, and companions

Wearables

Complications, workouts, payments glances, and haptic cues that respect battery life.

Smart TVs

Focus-based navigation, hero rows, and playback UX for the ten-foot interface.

Connected media and living-room content surfaces

Companion apps

Phone apps that configure devices, sync accounts, and handle heavy content.

Design principles

Different jobs on different screens

Each surface gets its own contract — interaction, power, and sync — before UI polish.

Zupitrix role

Ambient product design across wrists and living rooms

Zupitrix defines what each surface uniquely owns, then engineers watch, TV, and companion experiences that stay in sync. We own interaction design, platform builds, battery budgets, and living-room QA.

Ambient product

Present when the phone is not

Complications, leanback rows, and remote-first navigation keep your brand in the moments between phone sessions — engineered as ambient surfaces, not mirrored mobile screens.
