PebbleNTN 0.0.81

PebbleNTN — Pebble Notification To Navigation — puts the turn-by-turn directions from your phone's navigation app onto your Pebble watch, so you don't have to reach for your phone while you ride, walk or drive.

It works by reading your navigation app's notifications on the phone and sending the next step to the watch: distance, road name, and — depending on the app — the maneuver arrow and ETA. Nothing is sent to any server — the notification is parsed on your device and forwarded to your paired Pebble over the local connection.

Supported navigation apps:

* Google Maps (English plus German, French, Spanish, Italian and Dutch) — maneuver arrow, distance, road and ETA
* Organic Maps — distance and road; the watch shows a neutral turn marker (no ETA)
* CoMaps — distance and road; the watch shows a neutral turn marker (no ETA)
* OsmAnd — distance and road; the watch shows a neutral turn marker (no ETA)

Full maneuver arrows and ETA for these apps depend on data they don't currently put in the notification text; support may improve in a future update.

PebbleNTN recognises each app's notifications with a small, declarative rule set that ships with the app, so support for more apps can come in future releases. You can write your own rules for an unsupported app, or share an anonymised capture log to help add official support.

Features:

* Next maneuver, distance, road and ETA on the watch (maneuver icon and ETA are currently Google Maps only — see supported apps above)
* Automatic watchapp launch when navigation starts (configurable in settings)
* Three arrow styles, accent colours, and light or dark themes
* Metric or imperial units, left- or right-hand arrow layout
* Privacy-first: the notification is parsed locally and never uploaded; the optional "share logs to help" step lets you review and redact before sharing
* No ads, no tracking, no account

Permissions:

* Notification access — to read the navigation app's turn-by-turn notification (this is the core function)
* Internet — not used on Google Play installs, which get their updates from Google Play. Installs from GitHub, F-Droid or Obtainium use it only for an optional check for a newer version on GitHub (when you tap Check for updates, or weekly if you turn it on); it sends no personal data

Requires a paired Pebble watch and the Pebble/Rebble companion app installed on the phone. The matching Pebble watchapp is distributed separately (Rebble app store / .pbw).
