Short answer: yes, with your own Moonshot API key. Kimi is one of the built-in providers in AskWatch. Paste a key from the Moonshot platform once on iPhone and Kimi answers on Apple Watch, iPhone, iPad, Mac, Apple TV and in CarPlay.

Read from the app’s live model catalog, so it follows Moonshot’s releases.
Global or mainland China — you choose the region
Moonshot runs two separate platforms: an international one and one for mainland China. A key only works on the platform where it was created, so AskWatch asks which region your key belongs to and sends your requests there. Pick it next to the key in the Kimi settings.
Paying for it
Kimi runs on your own Moonshot API key: you pay Moonshot for what you use and AskWatch takes nothing on top. There is no managed route for this provider — an API key is the only way in. You enter the key once on iPhone; AskWatch passes it to your Apple Watch, Apple TV and other devices.
What it will not do
- No Live Conversation. Live voice in AskWatch runs on ChatGPT, Gemini and Grok; Moonshot publishes no realtime voice API.
- No web search with Kimi. Pick a provider that searches — Perplexity, Gemini, ChatGPT or Claude — when the answer needs today’s web.
- No images or documents. The Kimi models in the app work with text only.
- New answers need a connection. Recent answers stay in the watch history.
Questions people ask
Is there an official Kimi app for Apple Watch?
No. Moonshot AI does not publish a watchOS app. AskWatch reaches Kimi through Moonshot’s API with your own key.
Can I use a key from the mainland China Kimi platform?
Yes. Choose the mainland China region next to the key; a key only works in the region where it was created.
Is Kimi included in AskWatch+ or Ultra?
No. Kimi needs your own Moonshot API key; the subscriptions include models from other providers.
