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!

I use 2FAS because Aegis isn’t available for iOS. :) It’s more maintained than Tofu and is more feature rich. My main gripe is the backup format. It’s unnecessarily complicated. Not a deal breaker, but close.

Closed Network Privacy Podcast

Great podcast and an accompanying great Matrix room(s).

10,000 Sentences is new to me!! I’ll add it to the list of apps that I’ll eventually use to learn a new language. 😏

We’re now friends. :)

I’ll echo what @otter@lemmy.ca said, Garmin is really the only way to go. Currently. You can basically run them completely disconnected from Garmin after you get them setup.

I’ll also echo what @ExtremeDullard@lemmy.sdf.org said but qualify it by saying the PineTime is…a piece of junk. I wanted SO much to like it, but nothing about it works the way that is intended. It will not monitor your heart rate accurately. At least not for longer than 30 seconds. It will also not keep accurate count of your steps. It just doesn’t have sensitive/effective enough hardware for it. The firmware and OS are barely maintained. It’s sad, but true. I’ll be the first person in line to drop $500 on an Apple Watch or Samsung Watch equal FOSS watch. The market just doesn’t seem to be there.

Sorry I missed this earlier. And thanks for the update. I think we’re similar in our thought process. I appreciate your input. Also, Rossman is almost enough to make me walk the opposite direction. Almost. :)

Re FUTO: how do you feel about their license? I’ve seen some drama around it. Doesn’t give me the warm fuzzies either. Nice list, btw.

Been using KISS Launcher very happily. Worth a look.

To add to this, “Kvaesitso is available in the official F-Droid repository, but all features depending on non-foss external APIs were removed.” This is preferable to a lot of people.

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.
