One-paragraph description
Slatly is an independent watchOS app that controls Somfy exterior venetian blinds directly from the Apple Watch. The Digital Crown tilts the slats, a vertical swipe drives closure. After a one-time iPhone sign-in, the Watch app runs fully standalone over LTE or Wi-Fi — no iPhone tether, no extra hardware, no bridge. It reuses the Somfy TaHoma, Connexoon or Cozytouch box already controlling the user's blinds.

Three things that set Slatly apart
- Truly standalone watchOS app. Most third-party smart-home Watch apps proxy every command through a paired iPhone. Slatly talks to the Somfy cloud directly — leave the phone at home.
- Built around the Digital Crown. Crown rotates slats, swipe sets closure. No tiny on-screen sliders, no "tap to open" stubs.
- No new hardware. Uses the Somfy box that already controls the user's blinds. Same OAuth endpoint as the official Somfy app.
Quotes you can use
"The official Somfy app is great for setup. It was not built for the wrist. Slatly is — that's the whole point."
"Smart home control should feel like a watch tap, not a phone unlock. The Crown is the obvious tool for slat tilt; we just used it."
