Our aim with UNA watch is enable developers to create any wearable app they can think of, taking advantage of the vast array of sensors in the watch, which includes GPS, Heart Rate PPG, IMU, Magnetometer, Altitude and Ambient Temperature sensors.
UNA apps follow into 4 categories:
- Activities - e.g. Run, Bike
- Utilities - e.g. Stopwatch
- Glances - e.g. Steps
- Clockfaces
UNA has an underlying kernel, which safely manages how apps interact with each other and the hardware.
UNA’s own developers use this architecture to build our internal apps such as Run, Bike and Hike. These apps can be used as reference designs for anyone looking to create their own apps.
The UNA Watch SDK, which includes the source code for UNA’s own apps, is fully open-source and available here:
Full SDK documentation including how to build your first Hello World app is available here:
With a USB connection to a laptop, UNA watch acts as a mass storage device, allowing developers to drag & drop their apps into the file structure. This allows developers to quickly test their apps on real hardware.
Coming soon: to deploy apps to the wider community, users can upload their apps to the UNA app store available here:
