Pebble OS is adding plugins to supercharge apps and watchfaces
Founder Eric Migicovsky announced a major update to Pebble OS that introduces plugin architecture for the first time. Plugins will be coded in JavaScript and execute on paired smartphones rather than on the Pebble smartwatch itself, reducing computational load on the wearable. This enables developers to create more versatile watchfaces and apps that can fetch and display live data without baking every function directly into the firmware.
Key points
- Pebble OS gains plugin support via JavaScript
- Plugins run on smartphones, not the watch
- Enables dynamic data like weather and stock prices
- Described as biggest SDK change in Pebble's history
