Yesterday, Pebble watch software was ~95% open source. Today, it’s 100% open source. You can download, compile and run all the software you need to use your Pebble. We just published the source code for the new Pebble mobile app!

Can someone explain this to me. When you setup pebble on this new open source app, does the app connect to the internet? Who controls those servers? Is it rebble or this company LLC that Eric created? Who is server admin?

It is open sourcing the repebble app here: https://repebble.com/app

Looking through the code, most calls go to repebble.com, rebble.com and rebble.io domains. Most of it seems to be for login, firmware downloads, settings synchronization, weather forecasts and language packs.

There are also some calls to memfault.com for crash analytics.

Most of it seems pretty innocent. If you don't like this app you can also use Gadgetbridge as an alternative.

With a quick look through the code I can see calls are being made to rebble.io and repebble.com. From there you can whois the domains.
