About Pebble NTN
It works by reading your navigation app's notifications on the phone and sending the next step to the watch: distance, road name, and — depending on the app — the maneuver arrow and ETA. Nothing is sent to any server — the notification is parsed on your device and forwarded to your paired Pebble over the local connection.
Supported navigation apps:
* Google Maps (English plus German, French, Spanish, Italian and Dutch) — maneuver arrow, distance, road and ETA
* Organic Maps — distance and road; the watch shows a neutral turn marker (no ETA)
* CoMaps — distance and road; the watch shows a neutral turn marker (no ETA)
* OsmAnd — distance and road; the watch shows a neutral turn marker (no ETA)
Full maneuver arrows and ETA for these apps depend on data they don't currently put in the notification text; support may improve in a future update.
More apps can be added without a new release: PebbleNTN uses a small, declarative rule set to recognise each app's notifications. You can write your own rules for an unsupported app, or share an anonymised capture log to help add official support.
Features:
* Next maneuver, distance, road and ETA on the watch (maneuver icon and ETA are currently Google Maps only — see supported apps above)
* Three arrow styles, accent colours, and light or dark themes
* Metric or imperial units, left- or right-hand arrow layout
* Privacy-first: the notification is parsed locally and never uploaded; the optional "share logs to help" step lets you review and redact before sharing
* No ads, no tracking, no account
Permissions:
* Notification access — to read the navigation app's turn-by-turn notification (this is the core function)
* Internet — used only for an optional, off-by-default weekly check for a newer version on GitHub; it sends no personal data
Requires a paired Pebble watch and the Pebble/Rebble companion app installed on the phone. The matching Pebble watchapp is distributed separately (Rebble app store / .pbw).
