It’s basically a FOSS rewrite of OLauncher. It gets regular updates.

From quick research, it certainly seems to be the preferred alternative. It’s been around for quite awhile and look to have a legit business model. I also found an open source app that looks decent.

I feel ya. It’s crazy easy. I was surprised. Then, just wardrive. 😊

Fwiw: I’ve been using a Verizon locked one without ever activating the sim. It works just fine as a Rayhunter. It just doesn’t work as a hotspot.

I’ve been happily using mLauncher. It’s about as minimal as they come. I’ve got zero on my screens. https://github.com/DroidWorksStudio/mLauncher

Robosats used to have gift cards as an option. Not sure anymore. It’s been awhile.

I’m not expecting much. I just wish it would work consistently. I don’t know how many times it’s just decided to crash or turn off or fail to wake. It’s never even been reliable as a simple watch like what you mention. At least not for me. But, it’s been fun to play with for a small fee.

Good info! Thanks.

FWIW, it says you can opt out of this in the settings. It’s sort of crappy you have to go digging to find this. There should be a disclaimer. Thanks for pointing it out.

Time to pull the old PineTime out from under the bed and throw it on the charger. Probably still won’t be usable, but always fun to try new firmware. Thanks for the heads up!

Isn’t the Pine64 product called the PineBuds? The case is nicked the Pinepod, but that’s not really the same.

Sorry! I should’ve clarified. Android is key, but iOS also is a bonus. Things 3? Is it FOSS? I couldn’t tell, but it wasn’t obvious. Thanks for the suggestion.

I use and love Joplin. It seems like for this use case, it’d be a step better than a spreadsheet. I want something that’s more like tap a button and add a name if necessary. Great suggestion, though. Thanks!

I’ve messed with owntracks. It’s awesome, but more complex than what I’m looking for. Great software, though. Thanks for the idea.
