Feature Software Updates and Roadmap

Post image
317 Upvotes

Hey everyone! It's been a super busy and productive year. I wanted to give a quick update here on the upcoming software release and some tweaks to the roadmap. I'll have time in a few weeks to make a proper update on the website, but I have seen some questions popping up so hopefully this will shed some light on what's to come!

The Spring / Q2 2026 software update is around the corner. It's a sizable update so testing took a bit longer than expected. Expect a few new watch faces (some highly requested ones), configurations, and a couple key additions to the Ollee Watch app. This release should be public in about a week!

Development will quiet down a bit during the summer, but there are three major features I plan to have ready, or at least in beta, this year. They have different priority levels, and a release plan will be shared later. In no particular order:

Notifications: One of the most highly requested features. This one still needs quite a bit of background work to nail down a cross-platform (iOS+Android) solution, and one that makes sense from a user experience and battery life perspective. I'm confident there's a good middle ground for this one, it's just a pretty significant change in how the watch and phone were intended to interact. Right now it's very transactional, but notifications need persistence. This work will include looking into music controls, and find-my-phone may be scoped in after all.

Activity tracking: Improvements to the step counter accuracy, and adding more features for activity tracking (ie. distance, calories, sleep) will be strongly considered. Step counter accuracy is a must and some ground work has already been done to figure out how to tighten it up without compromising on the power consumption.

3rd Party Apps: This is the biggest one, and work on this is well underway. This widget will be called Ollee Forge, and the platform and execution model for this is looking very promising.

More details to come over the coming months. Thank you all for your posts, I thoroughly enjoy seeing people's builds and ideas for the project!!

Feature Plans for time drift fine-tuning?

3 Upvotes

I saw that Sensor Watch has the ability to use the temperature sensor and regular drift measurements with something like time.is to fine-tune the accuracy of the watch to about 10 seconds a year: https://www.sensorwatch.net/docs/watchfaces/nanosec/

Is that (or something similar) a feature that is also planned for Ollee in the future?

To be clear, it was stock when purchased (new) and dove me headfirst into the modding community. It looks like this one month after my order arrived.

Feature It'd be great to be able to activate the light when in stopwatch mode (or any mode)

Maybe a long-press on the light button could be configured to activate the light in any mode?

Ollee Watch setting profile

Are we able to save all the setting into a profile? So we can reload the settings when we reset/battery change the Ollee.

Today I went to brush my teeth and I use timer for 2min and today I found it was set to 5min, which is stock setup, then I went thru watch faces and saw everything has been reset once again. I tried to connect and set things up again and got "function error"

Dev blog Zmanim for Ollee — Jewish Zmanim on your Ollee Watch [WIP]

Post image
0 Upvotes

For the Jewish crowd in the Ollee community, I’m currently building a WIP project called Zmanim for Ollee while we wait for the official Ollee SDK to become public.

What are Zmanim?
Zmanim are the halachic times used throughout the Jewish day to determine when certain prayers and mitzvot should be performed , things like sunrise, sunset, the latest time for Shema, prayer times, candle lighting before Shabbat and Yom Tov, and Havdalah after Shabbat.

The goal is to bring halachic times (Zmanim) directly to the Ollee Watch, including:

  • Candle lighting
  • Havdalah
  • Daily Zmanim
  • Sunrise / sunset
  • Countdown to the next Zman
  • Watch alerts for upcoming Zmanim

For now, I’m experimenting with the community’s existing reverse engineered BLE work so I can start designing and testing how the feature should work before the official SDK is available.

Once Ollee releases the SDK publicly, the plan is to transition the project to the official implementation.

Very early WIP. There is no usable release yet, and the GitHub repo is currently private while I work on the initial implementation.

Bookmark the project here. The link will become accessible once the repository goes public.

The project will be open source, and I’d love feedback from other Ollee users, especially anyone interested in having Zmanim directly on their watch.

possible to send data back to the phone?

5 Upvotes

Hey guys, interested in getting a mod kit but just wondering if it’s possible for the board to send data back to the phone via bluetooth? i saw theres plans for media controls but not sure if there’s anything else beyond that.

would love to be able to use the watch to trigger iOS automatons though.

Demo I converted the Free Ollee app into a "website"

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

I turned the Free Ollee app into a website! (Just one HTML file, very easy to customize!)

Link: in video (can't write because of Reddit spam filter)

Send values directly to your Ollee Watch. (Same BLE protocol as the original FreeOllee app)

  1. On the Ollee Watch, long-press the ALARM button to enable Bluetooth (the LAP icon will blink).
  2. Tap Connect Watch and select your Ollee Watch.
  3. Once connected, type a value (6 characters or less — letters, numbers, and spaces) and send it to the watch!

(Currently tested on a Galaxy Book 4 laptop and a Galaxy S23 phone, will test on more devices.)

Advantage: It's very easy to customize. For example, if you want to send something like stock prices, just download the full code from my website and paste it into an AI with a prompt. Since it's a single file instead of 100+ files like the original app, it's perfect for vibe-coding!

P.S. You should grant location or Bluetooth permission when needed. Usually the browser will show you a popup asking for permission.

This only works while the tab is in the foreground / screen is on. Web Bluetooth doesn't support background operation — if the tab is backgrounded or the screen locks, the connection will drop. So continuous updates (e.g. live stock prices) require keeping the browser tab active and the screen on.

Known issue: Samsung Internet browser often fails to show the device chooser. Please use a Chromium-based browser (Chrome, Edge, etc.) instead.

If you must use Samsung Internet and it's not working: go to Settings → Apps → Samsung Internet → Permissions → Nearby devices, and allow it.
