A small scrappy open source Pebble companion app, based on the libpebble3. It's not meant as a grand replacement for the original app, but as a small app with the functional UI and the features that I care about.
Supported features:
- Connecting to the LE watches
- Installing / uninstalling watch apps via PBW
- PebbleKit JS (including configuration pages)
- Basic notification config
- Music control
- Calendar sync
- PebbleKit Android (for Notification Center, Music Boss etc.), albeit it's slower on the Pre-P2 watches
- Developer connection
- Voice recognition (on Android 13+)
- Install Git LFS
- Checkout the repo
- Pull submodules
git submodule update --init --recursive - Run
git lfs fetchin the repo
Process for updating all library versions::
- Update Gradle version
- Find latest version and the checksum for -all version from https://gradle.org/release-checksums/ (We use SHA to secure against wrapper attack, see https://blog.gradle.org/wrapper-attack-report)
- Run
./gradlew wrapper --gradle-version VERSION --gradle-distribution-sha256-sum SHA, where you substituteVERSIONandSHAwith the info found in the previous step.
- Open
libs.tomlfile and check if any versions marked with@pinhave been unblocked and can now be updated - Run
./gradlew versionCatalogUpdate. - Sync the project, build the app and run all tests to make sure everything still works.
- Run
detektDebuggradle task to find any new deprecated code - For any new deprecated code found by the search:
- If the fix is trivial, fix it immediately as part of the update commit
- Otherwise, make a tech debt ticket and add a @Suppress with the ticket number (and/or discuss with the team how to address it)
To easily add new modules, first enable project templates (you only need to do this once). Open Android Studio's Settings, go to "File and Code Templates" and set Scheme to "Project".
Then, to create a new module:
- Right click on the root in the project window, select New and then the project type you want

- Add module to
settings.gradle.kts - Add module to app's
build.gradle.ktsasimplementation(projects.newModule)) - Remove leading space from all generated
.gitignorefiles (workaround for the https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/IJPL-2568)
Every feature should contain following modules:
feature-namedata- data module with all non-UI logic (such as repositories). No otherdataoruimodule should depend on this (except for tests).api- interfaces and data models exposed to other modules. This module should generally contain no logic to speed up builds.ui- Module containing feature's ui (Screens / Fragments / ViewModels). No otherdataoruimodule should depend on this (except for tests).test(optional) - Module containing test helpers for faking stuff exposed in theapimodule
If your module contains instrumented tests, you must enable them with the following call:
custom {
enableEmulatorTests.set(true)
}To create screenshot tests for your compose screen:
- Make preview functions public
- Add
showkaseplugin to the module of the screen you want to test - Add
@ShowkaseComposable(group = "Test")annotation to the preview of the screen you want to test - run
recordPaparazziDebuggradle task to record golden screenshot (double check that only previews for your screen were generated)
App icon is watch-variant by the GreenTurtwig.
