Hi All - I have a reasonable need to use a Health app so am looking for suggestions & feedback on these if anyone can help? I also have a couple of the new Pebble Watches coming in a few months so hoping to ultimately be able to get the two to work together (not sure what FOSS Pebble Apps may be available now or in the near future, yet).
I’m preferably wanting to keep data on device only and manually download to my Linux PC at my discretion, otherwise in my own encrypted cloud storage (e.g. Proton or NextCloud) not in an anonymous app developers care…
Anyway the apps listed below are supposedly privacy friendly. Does anyone have any experience with these or know anything about the developers?
- Drip
- Euki
- Gadgetbridge
- CommonHealth

The Gadgetbridge app works wonderfully. I would focus on which clock is supported. With Gadgetbridge, everything stays local. At the first link, it may be necessary for an account to register. This is what the manufacturer of the watch pretends. But so far in the focus.

Great - Thanks. I’ve had someone else also mention Gadgetbridge as a good option so I will investigate. I’m currently running a Garmin Venu (the original model) and the other person mentioned using a Garmin watch with Gadgetbridge so that’s positive. I wasn’t confident I could use the Garmin watch in a private environment without it needing the official app and calling home to Garmin… so as mentioned I have the new Pebble smart watches coming to test out versus the Venu (the Pebble 2 Duo and Pebble Time 2) as I expected they might have better privacy options.
Just FYI if anyone is interested:
