Installing Recly

Debug APKs go up as pre-releases (v0.0.1-dev, releases) — one for the phone, one for the watch. Both need Android 14 / Wear OS 5 or later.

The watch cannot upload on its own — it hands recordings to the phone app, so install both.

Android phone

Open the release in the phone’s browser, download the phone APK, open it, and allow installs from that source. Play Protect warns about the debug signature — choose “Install anyway”. Google sign-in works: the debug keystore’s SHA-1 is the one registered on the OAuth client.

Galaxy Watch

Wear OS has no browser and no APK installer, so the watch APK can only arrive over ADB. On the watch, Settings → About watch → Software → tap the version seven times, then Developer options → turn on ADB debugging and Wireless debugging, and pair from a machine on the same Wi-Fi:

adb pair <pairing IP:port> <code>       # Wireless debugging → "Pair new device"
adb connect <IP:port>                   # the address on the Wireless debugging screen
adb -s <IP:port> install -r Recly-Watch-*.apk

Without a computer: download the watch APK on the phone and push it with an ADB-based installer app from Play (for instance “Wear Installer 2”); the watch settings above are the same. Take Galaxy Wearable off the phone’s background-battery limits or the Bluetooth link drops.

Double press home key → record: on the watch, Settings → Advanced features → Customise keys → Double press home key → Open app, and choose “Recly Record” (the second launcher entry; “Recly” only opens the app).

Windows

The MSI is on the GitHub release. It is not yet code-signed, so SmartScreen shows “Windows protected your PC” — choose More infoRun anyway.

macOS · iPhone · Apple Watch

App Store, TestFlight and DMG releases are coming soon. Today the way in is building from source — see development.md.
