Maybe something about Catima Wear OS, the first Wear OS app on F-Droid (to my knowledge, let me know if I’m wrong!)? Up to y’all of course. Just curious if there is a FOSS Wear OS community at all.
summary
Catima 2.45.0 was released with Wear OS support (and switched to Reproducible Build on F-Droid). This marks the first time a Wear OS application is released to F-Droid.
Although Wear OS is a proprietary platform with no FOSS custom ROMs like Lineage and the likes available for it, it is based on Android and therefore you can basically write apps for it the same way you do for Android.
While there is no F-Droid client which supports Wear OS at this point, you can install the Wear OS Catima companion app from F-Droid (v1.0.0 Wear OS), enjoying the same general F-Droid confirmation that the app really is FOSS. Alternatively, if you have a smartphone that’s supported by Gadgetbridge, you can use Gadgetbridge support in Catima, which has existed since 2013 and is much more private than Wear OS is: Loyalty cards / passes - Gadgetbridge.
For those curious about writing Wear OS apps without proprietary Google libraries, see the work-in-progress documentation on --annotate) are the object..
Do you use Wear OS and how do you currently find FOSS apps for it and how do you install them? Let us know!
