Companion app forInfiniTime-poweredPineTime smart watch.

Visually optimized for GNOME, adaptive for phone and desktop, Linux only.

• Current time service.
• Data reading: battery level, heart rate, steps count, firmware version.
• OTA firmware and external resources updates. Both, from manually specified DFU/resources files, or automatically downloaded fromInfiniTime releases for selected version.
• Media-player control.
• Notifications forwarding.

Watchmate is available onFlathub:

flatpak install io.gitlab.azymohliad.WatchMate

Or via the following community-maintained distro packages:

• GTK4
• Libadwaita
• Rust

Settings schema can be installed locally as follows:

mkdir -p $HOME/.local/share/glib-2.0/schemas/cp assets/io.gitlab.azymohliad.WatchMate.gschema.xml $HOME/.local/share/glib-2.0/schemas/glib-compile-schemas $HOME/.local/share/glib-2.0/schemas/

To compile and run the project, execute the following command from repo directory:

cargo run --release

• flatpak
• flatpak-builder

flatpak install org.gnome.Platform//45 org.gnome.Sdk//45 org.freedesktop.Sdk.Extension.rust-stable//23.08

flatpak-builder --user target/flatpak flatpak/io.gitlab.azymohliad.WatchMate.yml

flatpak-builder --run target/flatpak flatpak/io.gitlab.azymohliad.WatchMate.yml watchmate

flatpak-builder --install target/flatpak flatpak/io.gitlab.azymohliad.WatchMate.yml

Here and above,target/flatpak is the build directory. It's a convenient default for Rust project (target is already in.gitignore), but can be anything else.

Watchmate stands on the shoulders of the following giants:

• Rust programming language.
• Relm4,GTK4 (rs) andLibadwaita (rs) for GUI.
• BlueR (an officialBlueZ Bindings for Rust) for the bluetooth stack.
• Awesome parts of Rust ecosystem, liketokio,serde,reqwest,zbus,anyhow and others (seeCargo.toml for the full list).

I'm deeply grateful to all people behind these technologies. Watchmate wouldn't be possible without them: first, it would be technically unliftable; second, even with the alternatives, I probably wouldn't enjoy it so much, and joy is vitally important for hobby projects like this one.
