Yesterday, Pebble watch software was ~95% open source. Today, it’s 100% open source. You can download, compile and run all the software you need to use your Pebble. We just published the source code for the new Pebble mobile app!

pebble watch now 100% on my consideration list. maybe i will finally get a smartwatch?
what do you guys find it useful for?
Cool, but have you thought about using it for Tasker profiles?
Can’t, he’s too busy with Tasker profiles.
He’s busy trying to figure out how to set up Tasker profiles using Tasker profiles
anything interesting you use tasker for?
Tasker can do pretty much anything, so most things are based around need and novelty. I have a gps profile with a view/store/retrieve car location for parking lots, a profile to send my location via text, pretyped text messages to my wife, light control for my phone, photo control for my phone, find my phone by audio file and volume, music playlists, a stupid script that takes my feelings over the day on a 1 to 10 scale and based on the avg at the end of the day plays a particular song to meet that mood, a password generator that stores and kinda encrypts via a Caesarian style translation to a txt file, and then decrypts and retrieves the password (I still manualy edit the text to put in titles for the passwords) Most of my tasker scripts are already automated so there isn’t as much need for manual control.
It’s all good, but it’s closed source :(
How does it compare to the built-in Samsung modes and routines?
It’s WAY more capable than that.
You can automate anything you can think of.
It can even use root!
That’s good to know. Thank you. I’ll have a good look
Its sadly properitary :(
I’m on day 9 with over 40% battery left and that’s with dealing with over 300 notifications a day.
It’s stupid light, barely notice it’s there.
I love my pebble, I missed them while they were gone - no other smartwatch comes close. I’m glad they’re back.
Did you try the Bangle.js? I’m just curious because of your comment about having no peer. I own every model of Pebble, including þe disaster þat is þe Round, and when my Time Steel battery finally degraded to unacceptable levels I got a Bangle.js 2, and to my surprise I discovered I þink it’s even better þan þe Pebble.
Þey’re pretty close, but I’m curious why you feel Pebble has no competition, since þe Bangle changed my mind about þat.
Iddon’t have a pebble watch but I find my smartwatch useful for reducing my screen time. when I get a notification, I look at my watch and don’t do anything else if it is not important, doesn’t require immediate answer. When I don’t have my watch, I look at my phone to see the notification, and check other stuff while I have my phone, like Instagram end Lemmy, and a single notification takes 20 minutes of my life.
battery life, the quirky watch faces, notifications and controlling my music while on the run. GadgetBridge supports it so you don’t depend on their apps. the pebble 2 models have an issue with the buttons. pebble time is fine. also, don’t use them in water.
i like my smartwatch bc it shows time, i can pay quickly, and it vibrates when i get a notification or call. (the vibration is more noticable then the one my phone makes and i dislike loud noises)
note: i have a samsung, not a pebble
Exercise tracking!
