The owner didn't write this. This repo never submitted itself. The Cap'm found it on a truffle trawl and wrote its paperwork from what GitHub already shows. Picked by hand by the Cap'm on 2026-09-25: Steer — turn-by-turn navigation watchapp for Pebble; its own README says "Heavily AI-assisted ("vibecoded")". 12 stars; MIT license. The owner did not submit this. Votes count; awards don't until the owner claims it.

I'm not calling your project slop! Geeze, it's a joke... Do you own this repo?

Log in with GitHub as bquelhas. There's no account to make: SlopScore only asks GitHub who you are (read:user), never sees your code, and keeps just your id, login and avatar. Then you can:

  • Keep it, on your terms. Commit your own slopscore.md (spec) and press Refresh. Your paperwork replaces the Cap'm's, and you can submit it for Slop of the Day.
  • Take it down. One click on Remove. It stays gone; the trawl never brings it back.

The Cap'm's log

The Cap'm wrote this paperwork, not the owner. This repo never submitted itself to SlopScore. The Cap'm picked it by hand: Steer — turn-by-turn navigation watchapp for Pebble; its own README says "Heavily AI-assisted ("vibecoded")". It carries the MIT license. The disclosures above are his best guess from what GitHub shows.

Is this yours? Commit a real slopscore.md and press Refresh to replace this, or remove the listing in one click. There's no account to make: you log in with GitHub.

README — the repo's own words, folded up so the grading fits on one screen

Pebble Steer

Turn-by-turn navigation on your Pebble watch, mirrored from your phone's map app. Steer shows the next-maneuver icon, distance, street/instruction and ETA on the watch — no proprietary cloud, just a notification listener on the phone talking to a watchapp over Bluetooth.

Download the phone app

Grab the companion Android app (.apk) from the latest release, then sideload it: open the file on your phone and allow "install unknown apps" when prompted. The watchapp itself is bundled inside the phone app — install it to your watch from the app's Developer screen (or get it from the Rebble app store). The watchapp .pbw is also attached to the release.

This is a monorepo with two halves:

Directory What it is
watch/ The Pebble watchapp (C, Pebble SDK). Builds for aplite, basalt, chalk, diorite, emery and flint — Pebble Time 2 is the main target.
android/ The Android companion app (Kotlin). Reads navigation from your map app's notifications and forwards each maneuver to the watch.

Each half has its own README with build instructions: watch/README.md · android/README.md.

Compatible navigation apps

The companion reads turn-by-turn guidance from Google Maps, OsmAnd (Play and free/F-Droid builds), CoMaps, Organic Maps and komoot.

How it fits together

Map app (Google Maps, OsmAnd, …)
    │  posts a navigation notification
    ▼
android/  — NavNotificationListenerService → NaviParser → PebbleEmitter
    │  AppMessage over Bluetooth (PebbleKit 2, classic PebbleKit as fallback)
    ▼
watch/    — Steer watchapp: maneuver icon, distance, street, ETA

Status

Working: maneuver mirroring, ETA, per-turn vibration, configurable background colour, launching a favourite destination from the watch, an automatic night backlight (red-tinted on Pebble Time 2), and English/Portuguese UI chosen from the device language.

Planned / in progress: an on-watch speedometer and a speed-limit alert (both built, switched off for now).

Credits & licence

Built for personal use and open-sourced as-is — contributions welcome. Heavily AI-assisted ("vibecoded"). The maneuver-glyph-over-Bluetooth approach is inspired by the third-party PebbleNavi app; the maneuver icon set is derived from Pebble's own artwork (see the per-directory CREDITS.md).

From the balcony · 3 of 3 clapped

  1. Princessclapped
    Working watchapp with clear build instructions, MIT license, functional demo, and honest 'works-on-my-machine' status.
  2. Crusoeclapped
    No vulnerable dependencies, local Bluetooth communication only (no cloud), doesn't request broad credentials, and clearly documented data flow.
  3. Schnitzelclapped
    A delightfully niche watchapp that turns a Pebble into a navigation display with clever cross-platform Bluetooth plumbing and support for multiple map apps.
