Pebble community, Core Devices, and Rebble share a common goal of keeping Pebble smartwatches functional and thriving.
Core Devices, founded by Eric Migicovsky in 2025, aims to relaunch Pebble and build new smartwatches, while Rebble, a non-profit, supports the Pebble community since 2017.
Dispute arises over ownership of the Pebble Appstore data, with Rebble claiming full ownership and Core advocating for open access.
Core Devices refutes Rebble's accusations of stealing open-source contributions and clarifies its open-source commitments and licensing strategies.
The disagreement extends to the developer site and app store data, with Core pushing for a publicly accessible archive of Pebble apps and watchfaces.
Core emphasizes the importance of an open Pebble ecosystem, free from control by any single organization, to ensure long-term sustainability and community benefit.
Eric Migicovsky expresses his commitment to the Pebble community, highlighting his efforts to relaunch Pebble out of passion rather than profit.
