Thank you for the tip about Gadgetbridge, it's exactly what I was hoping for!! I don't see my gadget on the supported gadgets list, but I saw a comment that says Gadgetbridge at least lets you sync the time to the Shine. Now I have to go find an old Android phone that can run it 😂 I expect it's much harder to make a replacement app for iOS.

See if maybe it is supported by Gadgetbridge.

That's the open source app that works with the PineTime watch.

I just found my old Misfit Shine, an activity tracker from around 10 years ago. All its apps appear to be down. Does anybody know how to decode bluetooth signals, maybe we can get step data off of the thing and start using it again?

Does anyone know of a wiki or something of defunct fitness gadgets and their open-source life support? lf such projects exist in the world? Maybe there are things for really popular old fitness trackers but I don't think the Misfit Shine ever got much traction lol.

I used to wear my Shine in a beautiful sacred-geometry-looking necklace peripheral and I'd check it kinda like a pocketwatch. It doesn't have a display, but it could tell you the time and your % progress to your daily step goal via tiny little LED dots around the edge. It is a svelte little thing. Swarovski even did a collab to make a crystal version plus sparkly bracelets for it. I was the target market for such a gadget and probably the only one. lol
