I discovered it when I found it was shipped with CalyxOS and honestly it's way better than anything else I've found.
I'm giving it a try. It does look like a good option. My only concern is that there don't seem to be many source options for the US. There were several that showed up as unavailable when I first started, it that no longer show as options now that I've configured it. I'm puzzled.
Didn't a bunch lose funding and shutdown? I forgot
I discovered breezy when I started using GadgetBridge since breezy can provide the weather for GB. So my Garmin gets its weather from Breezy.
Ouhh this has peaked my interest! Do you use GB instead of Garmin app? Which Garmin do u use? Whats the experience using GB been?
Yes, I use GB instead of Garmin Connect. I have been doing it for the last year (started Feb 2025). I have a Fenix 7X. It has been pretty great overall. GB shows a lot of information, and does everything I want, and nothing I don't... They recently added Health Connect functionality, which is really cool.
The only issue I've had was for a couple months I was having issues with my watch getting into a really bad state and needing a factory reset. It would reboot and then get stuck at "processing FIT files" (is something). I disabled auto syncing, since I theorized that maybe sometimes the sync would get interrupted or something, and Garmin firmware might freak out about it. Now I just occasionally manually sync, generally while sitting at my desk.
Besides that issue, I've loved GB. I finally donated last week, since I've gotten so much value from GB and they're doing such good work.
Thanks for sharing! Sounds like ita time for me to checkout GB!
