minus-squareCryophilia@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up34arrow-down1·2 years agoJust here to push https://gadgetbridge.org/ Get a smartwatch, replace the stock companion app with Gadgetbridge. Watch talks to Gadgetbridge, Gadgetbridge talks to watch. All over Bluetooth. Gadgetbridge has no internet access, up or down. It cannot send out any of your data. It remains sandboxed on your phone. You can totally uninstall the stock companion app.
minus-squareSuperEars@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up7·2 years agoI like the idea of this. At present time it doesn’t look like any Fitbit-branded devices are supported, unless I’m missing something.
minus-squareBoring@lemmy.mllinkfedilinkarrow-up1·2 years agoI really wanted to use gadget bridge. But they only support obscure watches and some Chinese knock offs. Amazing concept, but I guess its really hard to reverse engineer some of the protocols these major watch/fitness trackers use.
