5 hours ago
- Spring 2026 Pebble App Contest announced, running from April 2 to April 19, celebrating Pebble Time 2 mass production and encouraging new app and watchface creation.
- Prizes include 25 watches (Time 2 or Round 2), with 3 ultra limited edition transparent Time 2 watches for developer winners.
- Developers can enter by importing or claiming pre-2026 apps, and/or publishing a new app for Time 2 or Round 2.
- Non-developers can enter by signing in and 'hearting' any contest-created app on the Pebble appstore, with two random winners receiving watches.
- Building a Pebble app is easy with C or JavaScript tutorials, local SDK support (Mac, Linux, Windows WSL), and CloudPebble browser-based development.
- Pebble SDK 4.9.148 released with updates; publishing from CLI and CloudPebble now generates GIFs/screenshots.
- Alloy framework is out of developer preview, and Figma templates and hardware resources (block diagram, 3D CAD) are available for developers.
- Contest rules include four win categories: developer draw, most hearts (in two phases), Pebble team judging, and heart-an-app draw, with prizes shipped free to eligible countries.
