? Introducing RoutineHero: A PineTime Smartwatch for Kids' Routines + Companion App

[oscar-gardiazabal]

Hi everyone!

I’m excited to share a project I’ve been building called RoutineHero — a customized version of InfiniTime for the PineTime smartwatch, designed specifically to help young children follow daily routines.

Why I built it
My 3-year-old was struggling with basic daily routines like getting dressed, brushing teeth, or going to bed. I wanted to help him build independence without needing constant reminders — but I couldn’t find anything out there designed for that.
So I created RoutineHero: a non-distracting smartwatch that helps young children understand and follow their day.

What is RoutineHero?

• Custom OS based on InfiniTime, made for young kids
  
• Routine alerts with kid-friendly icons + gentle vibration feedback
  
• Companion Android app lets parents configure tasks, icons..
  
• Super simple interface — no distractions, games, or messages
  

---

Open Source on GitHub
All code and setup instructions are available here:
https://github.com/trollderiu/InfiniTime-RoutineHero
Try it out! I’d love feedback, ideas, and collaborators.

---

Looking for Advice: Licensing, Sales, and Bulk Orders
I’d love to make RoutineHero available to other parents — especially those who don’t know how to flash firmware or build from source.
I’m currently exploring the idea of offering pre-configured PineTime watches with RoutineHero installed. If I go forward, it will be under a new name and with full credit to PineTime and InfiniTime.

I have a few key questions and would really appreciate advice from this community:

• Is it okay to sell PineTime-based devices with a custom OS, as long as I don’t present it as an official Pine64 product?
  
• Can I purchase PineTime devices in bulk directly or through official distributors?
  
• What are the best practices to respect the spirit and licensing of InfiniTime, PineTime, and the broader community?
  
  

If you’ve been through a similar journey — or are part of the Pine64 team — I’d be very grateful for your insight.
RoutineHero began as a small project to help my own child — now I’d love to share it with others, while giving back and respecting the amazing open-source community that made it possible ❤️

Looking forward to hearing your thoughts,
Oscar Gardiazabal

Thank you!

Thank you!

Awesome on your custom OS particular targets for kid routine.
1. It is OK to sell PineTime based devices with custom OS>.
2. You can purchase PineTime devices in bulk and just contact sales team (sales#pine64.com). 
3. Infinitime is GPL based.

Thanks so much, really helpful!

Glad to hear it’s okay to sell PineTime-based devices with a custom OS. I’ll reach out to the sales team about bulk orders. And yes, I’ll make sure to fully respect the GPL license and keep everything open-source.

Appreciate the support!
