hi everyone!

I am new to developing for the pebble and am interested in making a watchapp that displays a silent time tracker notification from my phone that shows how long I am already doing something. by seeing this notification on my watch, I will be more aware of changing the time tracking. Is there an API or method for this?

Are you thinking of a pomodoro type functionality?

not quite. the idea is that you set a stopwatch-like timer within an app (like “simple time tracker” from github) that shows as a running notification that is persistantly shown on a clockface.

the notification from the app can show a preset activity like “reading” or “running” together with a stopwatch timer to track time spent on activities throughout the day which can be started and changed from the phone (perhaps changed from the watch) and later looked at from a calendar view.

Ah! Something like the punchclock app , but with user-definable topics instead of just “working”.

ETA: just saw that punchclock asks to enter times instead of just setting it to time an action, so maybe not that one.
