Feature description

A wearos app that is a trimmed down version of termux.

Basically I just want to be able to have termux on my smart watch and the current methods kinda suck in terms of actually doing it.

There is the ADB side loading, which sucks because it forces you to use ADB over tcp which is a pain when the watch keeps going to sleep. Then you gotta use a tool like scrcpy or ADB keyboard inputs to install an ssh server, and that only works on WiFi if the watch is even deciding to connect to WiFi (wearos can be finicky depending on device)

But I did notice apps, even third party android apks, can side load an app onto the watch directly through the phone linked to the watch.

So in my head I'm thinking it could be possible to add an companion app (like termux API) for wearos, and then add a termux-wearos package to termux, and have that package be how you interact, such as a special ssh like link or something, or just sending scripts to run like termux-widget does
