FOSS Friday post.
So when I was diving down the degoogleing rabbit hole and looking for ways to do things without sending all my data to predatory corps, my smart watch became a concern. I didn't use smart watches for every little feature that they had but I really liked things like step tracking / hear rate tracking / and speedometer while biking and most importantly, notifications.
Enter gadgetbridge. It won't work with every device, in fact I bought a device specifically to work *with* gadgetbridge. That being said if your a smartwatch user and the idea of giving up your watch sounds horrid. gadgetbridge does notifications, heart rate tracking, step tracking sleep tracking, and the data never leaves your phone.
It also integrates into something called open tracks which is a is another FOSS app for tracking workouts.
