What this does

Notify Buttons is a small watch app installed through the Notify guided process that syncs custom actions from the phone and displays them as tappable buttons on the watch for instant execution.

Why you’ll love it

  • One‑tap control of favorite phone actions without pulling out the phone.
  • Configurable labels, order, and behavior from the Notify app.
  • Works reliably over Bluetooth with minimal setup.
  • No custom music player workarounds required.

Requirements

Automatic compatibility check: Open the Notify app on the phone and go to Button actions. If the current watch/band is supported, Notify shows a “Supported native app” suggestion with the Install action. If not supported, you will not be prompted to install the app on watch.

New Xiaomi models are released often. Instead of a static list, Notify detects support dynamically. As a rule of thumb, if the watch/band allows installing third‑party RPK apps, it supports Notify Buttons. Mi Band 9/10 and the latest Xiaomi watches meet this requirement; new compatible models will appear automatically in the Buttons page suggestions.

Privacy friendly: actions are sent locally from the phone to the watch via Bluetooth; nothing is sent to a server.

Install on your watch

  1. Ensure you have at least the Notify for Xiaomi app v22.0.0 or newer installed on the phone.

  5. Follow the guided steps; keep the watch near the phone until installation completes.
