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!

      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.

      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.

          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.
