Costuming electronics

Make your costume fire on a gesture.

Flick, strike, or snap — and your Wear OS watch fires a hero-grade sound effect the instant you move. Hands free, eyes up, fully in character — and the same gesture can flash your lights and trigger your smoke right alongside it.

The flagship — CosNFX for Wear OS

It's not an app you tap. It's a power you throw.

A natural gesture fires the effect the instant you move — the watch reads your motion, so your hands stay empty and your eyes stay up. The same gesture can flash your lights and puff your smoke in sync, and it learns the way you actually move.

Hands-free, eyes-up

Low-latency sound fires straight from the watch the moment a gesture hits — your hands stay free, your eyes stay up, and you stay in character. A quick double-tap arms or disarms, hands-free.

Sound + light + smoke

One gesture can also drive your gear over Wi-Fi — HTTP for WLED strips, Philips Hue, Home Assistant (smart plugs for smoke machines and fans), and ESP32/Arduino builds, plus OSC and Art-Net for lighting consoles and show-control — so the whole effect lands together.

It learns your motion

Record how you throw a punch and the watch aims its detector at the way you really move — fitting detection to you, not a textbook axis. Reset to the defaults any time.

30 character identities

Heroes, monsters, and mages — each with its own colour and sound kit, a dynamic energy field, and a cinematic backdrop. Swipe to switch, or build your own from scratch.

Mission Control, in any browser

The watch opens a full control panel in any browser on your Wi-Fi — gestures, sound library, props, calibration — gated by a 6-digit PIN the watch shows you. Open it from your phone or a laptop; nothing extra to install.

Battle mode

Link two or more watches over Wi-Fi for co-op or versus play — strikes deal damage, and a held Raise blocks an incoming hit. Bring it to a cosplay face-off, a reenactment, a LARP, or just a backyard duel with friends.

Works on Wear OS watches — Galaxy, Pixel, and more. The control panel opens in any phone browser on the same Wi-Fi.

What's next from CosNFX

Straight answers

The questions you're already asking.

Do I need to buy a special watch?

No — CosNFX runs on any Wear OS watch (Galaxy, Pixel, and others), so there's no special hardware required to get started. Prefer a turnkey device? A standalone CosNFX watch is on the waitlist.

Is it really free?

Yes — completely. All 30 identities, every sound effect, every visualization, every gesture, combo finishers, the HUD, and the phone control panel are free, with nothing locked. The one optional one-time "Pro" purchase (no subscription) adds the power-user tools: recording your own custom gestures, your own audio/image uploads, firing real props over your Wi-Fi, multi-device play, and multiplayer Battle mode. Optional add-on packs — extra audio, visualization, and graphic packs, plus smart ring integration — will come as separate purchases later.

Does it need Wi-Fi or my phone to work?

The watch is fully standalone — it fires sounds entirely on its own, with or without Wi-Fi. Bring in Wi-Fi when you want the phone as a louder second speaker, the browser control panel, prop triggers (lights/smoke), or Battle mode.

Will it work on my Apple Watch / iPhone?

CosNFX is a Wear OS app, so it runs on Wear OS watches — Galaxy, Pixel, and more — rather than Apple Watch / watchOS. The control panel is just a web page, so any phone's browser (iPhone included) can configure it and act as a speaker; the watch itself is the Wear OS part.

What about the hardware?

The CosNFX app is the first product and you can get it today. A standalone CosNFX watch (with the software pre-installed) and LED kits are next — join the waitlist above and I'll tell you the moment they're ready.

Is my data private?

Everything runs locally — no accounts, no telemetry. The phone control panel is protected by a 6-digit PIN shown on the watch, so only you can control it even on shared venue Wi-Fi. See the privacy policy for details.
