For watch face creators
Your faces, on more wrists. Without the Play hoops.
Design in WristForge and publish to Face Hub in one click, free. On a paid plan, earn coins every time someone buys your face, and spend them across all of WristForge. Bring your Watch Face Studio projects with you.
One click to Face Hub
Press Publish to Face Hub in the editor and your face is live. No developer account, no one-time Google fee, no 12-tester closed test before anyone can install it.
Keep your Play listing too
Build a signed APK for free, or a Google Play bundle with Pro, and ship it on your own account under your own name. Face Hub is an extra audience, never a lock-in.
Don't start over
Open your own Watch Face Studio project and pick up where you left off. The package name comes with it, so you can even update an existing Play listing with your original key.
Build what you couldn't
A keyframe Timeline, wrist-tilt parallax, masks, real text outlines, baked soft shadows and wearer-picked colours, all without typing an expression.
Switching
What changes when you switch.
Facer and Watch Face Studio are good tools, and for a simple face either is fine. This is what WristForge adds on top.
From Watch Face Studio
- Your .wfs projects open in WristForge, layer for layer, with a report of anything that needs a touch-up.
- Conditional Lines become Timeline windows, where you can also fade, swap art and keyframe motion instead of only showing and hiding.
- Outlines are one setting, not eight copies of the same text to keep in sync.
From Facer
- Time-of-day changes are bars you drag on a Timeline, not ternaries typed into an opacity field.
- Motion is keyframes with easing on every segment, not trigonometry in a rotation field.
- What you build is yours: build an APK or a Play bundle of your own face whenever you want.

Creator questions.
Does publishing to Face Hub cost anything?
No. The editor is free and so is publishing to Face Hub. A paid plan is only needed to earn coins from your sales, or to build a Google Play bundle for your own listing.
Who owns the faces I publish?
You do. Publishing gives Face Hub permission to list and install your face; the design and the art stay yours.
Can I publish the same face on Google Play as well?
Yes. Face Hub is not exclusive. Plenty of creators will want both.
What gets a face taken down?
Art you do not have the rights to, other companies' logos and brands, or a copy of someone else's face. Faces go live straight away, and we take down anything that breaks the Creator Terms.
Which watches can install my faces?
Face Hub installs faces with Google's Watch Face Push, which needs a watch on Wear OS 6 or newer. Faces you ship on Google Play yourself run on Wear OS 4 and newer. The same project can also build for Amazfit watches, which you can put on your own watch or publish on the Zepp Store.
How do I earn coins?
Set a price on your face, from 50 to 500 coins. While you are on any paid plan, Faces included, you earn 70 percent of every paid unlock. On the free plan your face still sells, you just don't earn from it. If your plan lapses you stop earning until you renew, and coins you already earned stay yours.
What can I spend coins on?
Anything in WristForge: watch faces, games and courses all share one coin wallet. Coins have no cash value.
Can I earn real money?
Not yet. We're working on a creator program with more ways to earn, and it isn't open yet. There's no application and no date. When it opens, we'll say so here.
