This is a Linux companion app for wasp-os, a smartwatch operating system. It's written in Python with GTK and Libhandy.
This software is early in development so things are guaranteed to break.
Already implemented features are marked with ✅️.
On the front end, this app will:
- Show a graph of heartbeat/step counter data (this might also be done through an API for separate apps, for example Health)
- Add, update or remove apps
- Update wasp-os (DFU)
- Present settings (brightness, bluetooth, notifications, set a watchface, go to the bootloader, turn on the flashlight, restart the watch)
Behind the scenes, it will:
- Synchronize the time on the watch (RTC) ✅️
- Control music that's playing on your phone ✅️
- Send notifications from your phone to wasp-os ✅️
- Sync the timer and stopwatch with the Clock app on your phone
You can use pre-built flatpaks from Github Actions to try Wasp Companion on your device. Builds are available for both x86_64 and aarch64 architectures.
Start by running git submodule init and git submodule update in the project's root directory.
I've made a simple helper script to automate the build process of this project. Enter the flatpak directory and run ./flatpak to see build commands. Run ./flatpak -f to install build dependencies, update python modules and build the flatpak. When building is finished, you can run ./flatpak -p to run the app. Be aware that building the app like this will not make it show up in your app list, and I'm not sure why.
To rebuild modules (./flatpak -m), you need pip3 installed locally.
- Daniel Thompson for creating wasptool and its dependencies, which this app uses in the background.
- Maarten de Jong for writing the first 61 lines of code.
