PineaTime features - RandomN00B - 04-22-2021
Hello!
I'm looking into buying a pinetime, but there are a few features I would need:
- Ability to sync time with a degoogled Android phone or a Linux desktop os
- Alarms
- Count down timer
- Ability to write/install custom apps
Do infinitime and the 1.0 release include this?
Thanks!

Infinitime will sync the time with Gadgetbridge, which as far as I know will run on a degoogled Android phone. The Pinetime hardware does not have a speaker so any alarms are communicated through vibration. If you mean an Alarm app, where you set a time for it to go off, I don't see one on Infinitime. I don't see a countdown timer either but there is a stopwatch app so a countdown app is certainly possible. It is possible to write and install custom apps, the current language of choice is C++.
There are several operating systems available for the Pinetime hardware and the wasp-os operating system has all the features you mentioned, including setting the time from a Linux desktop os.
