WatchKit is the set of software tools that allows developers to easily create apps for Apple Watch, the first wearable device from Apple.
Apple can count on the most active developer community in the world, which will from now start creating app WatchKit, even before Apple Watch is available. Developers will be able to create innovative app WatchKit, with interactive notifications and Glances, to consult on the fly the most useful information by giving a simple look to Apple Watch.

"
Developers can create notifications that allow users to reply directly from the watch or to perform actions such as turning off lights after leaving home, check the details of a flight at the airport and recalculate the route if you are late. They will also incorporate Glances, showing faster users with the information that most interest, as the latest news and sports scores, the state of the alarm system or the next step of the favorite recipe.

"With interactive notifications, you can see a photo and immediately put I like, or respond with an emoticon. The Watchlist Instagram allows you to see the latest pictures of your friends, follow new accounts and receive real-time feedback on Like and comments you receive. "
