Step-by-Step Guide to Setting Up Email Me on Apple Watch
Install Email Me via the Watch App on Your iPhone
Open the Watch app on your iPhone and stay on the My Watch tab. Scroll down to Available Apps, find Email Me, and tap Install. After a few moments, the app icon appears on your watch.
Open Email Me on Your Watch
Press the Digital Crown, find Email Me, and open it. The main menu offers Audio Note, Text Note, My Notes, and Settings. Scroll down to reach Settings.
Sync Your Recipients from Your iPhone
With the watch app open, grab your iPhone and open Email Me. Go to Settings > Watch > Sync Now to send your recipients over to the watch. Keep the watch app open while the sync runs: it only takes a moment.
Record Your First Audio Note
Back on the watch, tap Audio Note, speak your thought, and send it. A few seconds later it lands in your inbox: captured, done, and out of your head.
Optional: Set an On Open Action
If you always use the same note type, open Settings in the watch app and choose an On Open Action. From then on, Email Me jumps straight into recording the moment you open it: one less tap between you and your idea.
Real-World Uses That Make Sense
Here's how Email Me on Apple Watch becomes your personal assistant:

Tips for a Faster Wrist Workflow
- Add a complication. Put Email Me on your watch face so a single tap opens the app: combined with an On Open Action, you're recording in under two seconds.
