About this app
WearCapture is a free desktop tool for making long screenshots of scrollable Wear OS screens. It captures frames from your watch over a local ADB connection and stitches them into one PNG. Use it to document a settings walkthrough, show an app launcher, or capture a Wear OS app for a guide.

Capture a scrollable screen
- Install Android SDK Platform-Tools on your computer.
- Enable debugging on the watch and connect with USB or Wi-Fi ADB. Approve the connection on the watch.
- Open the screen you want to capture and select the watch in WearCapture. Start a capture, watch the preview, and save the resulting PNG.
WearCapture can apply a circular mask and reuse saved capture profiles. ADB handles the watch connection, so no on-watch app or root access is required. Captures are processed and saved locally.
The gallery shows real outputs from a Galaxy Watch4 Classic running Wear OS 5, including a full launcher stitch, a Discover screen, and a partial capture saved with Stop & Save. Read the source setup and CLI examples.
