I love the idea of pebble, but I’m using it as a fitness tracker (steps and pulse etc). I wish there was a fitness tracker where I have full control of what metrics I wanna monitor and how to monitor them and when it should vibrate etc. none of that I have with Fitbit.
I realise pebble is designed for tech enthusiasts and not really for fitness, but the time 2 does have a step counter, heart rate monitor, and sleep tracker.
Is it possible that a community made app could do what you want?
Oh you’re right, I think it does indeed have what I need. I wonder what open source app I could get for my iPhone now that EU has forced Apple to allow third party app stores.
Yes, but I haven’t managed to find something yet. It seems it should be easy enough. I have an iPhone though still. I don’t want to replace it until I have to.
