The walkie-talkie for your watch.

Yes, there is a Free plan for up to 3 people. Plus is $4.99/month for up to 5, for personal use, with the AI assistant (your own AI key) and a Space color. Crew starts at $24.99/month for up to 6. The 4th person who joins a Free Space starts a free 14-day Crew 15 trial that needs no card and never turns into a paid plan by itself. You are only charged if you choose a paid plan, and paid plans renew at the same price until you cancel.

No. Your watch works on its own over Wi-Fi or LTE, so you can leave your phone in your pocket or at home. Setting up a Wear OS watch still needs an Android phone once.

Android phones with Android 9 or newer, and Wear OS watches with Wear OS 3 or newer. Turning the crown with the screen off needs Wear OS 5 or newer and the KeyUp Accessibility setting.

Yes, in Safari today. Add KeyUp to your Home Screen for the best experience. It talks and listens while KeyUp is open on screen, and notifications need iOS 16.4 or later. A voice note records only while the page is in front, and private calls work only if Safari has what they need. Native iPhone and Apple Watch apps are in active development, and come soon through TestFlight. Join the waitlist to hear when they’re out.

Not on the Apple Watch itself yet. Apple removed its Walkie-Talkie app in watchOS 27 (September 2026, as reported by MacRumors). Today you can use KeyUp on iPhone in Safari, in the same rooms as Android phones, Wear OS watches and computers. Native iPhone and Apple Watch apps are in active development, and come soon through TestFlight. On Apple Watch you will open KeyUp and tap to talk. See what to use now, or join the iPhone and Apple Watch waitlist to hear first.

Yes. Pick Talk on watch, listen on phone in You > Devices > Talk and listen. Talk into the watch and hear the room in any headphones on your phone, even music-only earbuds. Music keeps playing and dips while someone talks.

Usually, yes. With Bluetooth audio on Music quality (the default), KeyUp plays the room the way your headphones play music, and you talk into your watch or phone, so headphones or earmuffs with no usable mic for calls may work too; check your model. If your headset has a good mic, Hands-free uses it like a phone call, only while people are talking. See KeyUp with Bluetooth headphones.

The app speaks English, Spanish, French, Portuguese (Brazil), German and Italian. It follows your phone’s language, or pick one in You > Look and language > Language. The watch follows its own language. See Change the app language.

The Space owner pays one price for the whole crew. Invited members and guests never pay. Each person counts once across all of the owner's Spaces, and guests never count.

Not unless you say yes. New rooms start with transcripts, Replay and the assistant off. A room has to turn on Replay, and you have to agree, before your voice is saved. (A talk someone missed when their connection dropped is held in memory for up to 5 minutes to deliver it, never on disk.) Clips are kept 1 hour by default, and a room can choose longer, up to 1 day on Free, 7 days on Plus, 30 days on Crew and 90 days on Business. Transcripts need your yes too, and are kept for the room's keep time, 7 days by default. If a Space owner uses their own transcription provider, the app names it and asks you first. Guests are never recorded, and private 1-to-1 calls (beta) are end-to-end encrypted with no recording, transcripts or AI.

Nothing from KeyUp. KeyUp never provides an AI. The assistant comes with Plus and every plan above it. The Space owner adds their own key from OpenAI, Anthropic, Google Gemini or a compatible service and pays that company directly. The assistant only hears you if you turn on Ask the AI by voice.

Fill in the form above and you get the steps right away. No code needed. Android joins through Google Play testing, and iPhone and computers use the web app. The people you invite join free with your invite link.
