Pebble watch software is now fully open source, a significant shift from the previous 95%. Users can download, compile, and run all necessary software for their Pebble devices. The Pebble mobile app has also been made open source, addressing past issues where users faced difficulties accessing it after the original company shut down. This new app and the PebbleOS are both available on GitHub, ensuring their long-term usability even if the company were to cease operations again. Core Devices, the company behind the relaunch of Pebble, aims to maintain production of the watches as long as they remain profitable. The new Pebble Time 2 watches will be more repairable, featuring a removable back cover for battery replacement. They've also published design files for the Pebble 2 Duo, allowing users to create their own Pebble-compatible devices. Key updates include the introduction of a decentralized app store system, where users can subscribe to multiple app feeds. This approach mirrors open-source package managers and ensures that if one server goes down, users still have access to their apps. The new app store feed is backed up on Archive.org, enhancing reliability. Developers can still monetize their apps, and while there are some non-free software components in the system, the core functionality remains open source. Production for the Pebble Time 2 is currently in the design verification phase. The timeline is subject to change, especially considering the potential impact of Chinese New Year on manufacturing schedules. The team is committed to rigorous testing before moving into mass production.
