Alpha · Pebble watch apps · macOS

Build Pebble watch apps without writing code.

WatchAppStudio is an early alpha for building interactive Pebble watch apps visually. Design screens, connect block-based logic, preview in the simulator or on a real Pebble, and export from one desktop studio.

See how it works

Early alpha — expect rough edges. I’m looking for Pebble users to build real apps, break things, and help shape what comes next.

  • ✓ Visual screen designer
  • ✓ Block-powered logic
  • ✓ Device simulation
  • ✓ Watch apps only — no watch faces

A visual workflow from idea to Pebble app

Build the app, not the setup.

Move from first screen to an exportable Pebble watch app without wrestling with C, SDK configuration or disconnected tools.

Button

Design visually

Compose watch screens from reusable components and tune layout, typography and states in a focused canvas.

02 TapUpdateShow

Connect the logic

Define interactions, navigation and state through readable blocks instead of debugging syntax.

03 ∅· · ·.pbw

Preview and export

Test the experience in the Pebble simulator or on supported hardware, then package it as a .pbw.

Built for interactive watch apps

Build behaviour, not just screens.

WatchAppStudio brings interface design, app logic and testing into one visual environment. It is intentionally focused on interactive watch apps: watch faces are not supported and are not planned.

Build real app behaviour without syntax errors

Connect timers, buttons, data and navigation with visual logic blocks, then inspect the flow at a glance.

Catch layout problems before you export

Preview screens in a virtual device and validate interactions on supported physical hardware.

Start with Pebble, expand to other app platforms later

Pebble is the alpha target. WearOS and WatchOS remain future watch-app export targets on the product roadmap.

Alpha platform support

Pebble first. Other watch-app platforms later.

The alpha currently targets Pebble watch apps from macOS. WearOS and WatchOS are future watch-app export targets; Windows and Linux are planned desktop builds.

Common questions

What to know before you build.

WatchAppStudio is an early alpha focused on visual Pebble watch-app creation.

What can I create with WatchAppStudio?

Interactive watch apps: utilities, timers, trackers, multi-screen tools and other apps that respond to buttons, state, events and data. WatchAppStudio does not create watch faces.

Which platforms are supported today?

The current alpha builds Pebble watch apps and runs on macOS. WearOS and WatchOS are future watch-app targets on the roadmap. Windows and Linux desktop builds are planned but are not available in the current alpha.

Can I create watch faces?

No. WatchAppStudio is intentionally for interactive watch apps. It does not create watch faces, and watch-face support is not planned.

Do I need to write code?

The core workflow is designed around visual screen and logic tools, so you can build without writing the underlying app code directly.

What should I expect from the alpha?

Pre-release software with rough edges, bugs and unfinished areas. The goal of the alpha is to get real Pebble apps built, learn where the workflow gets in the way, and use that feedback to guide what gets improved next.

Alpha testers wanted

Have a Pebble app idea? Try building it visually.

Request alpha access to try WatchAppStudio on macOS. I’m looking for early users to build real watch apps, report bugs, and tell me where the workflow gets in the way.
