Heads up — the firmware-side changes aren't upstream yet, so this doesn't run on stock PebbleOS yet. The contest submission is a stake-in-the-ground; firmware changes are going upstream next, and once those land this app becomes fully functional.

What it does

Pebble Ping makes your Pebble discoverable on Apple's Find My network — the same system AirTags use. Lose your watch on the couch, at a café, in a coat pocket? Any passing iPhone quietly relays its location back to you, and you see it on a map.

On the watch

• New app in the launcher with a big LIVE / OFF status
• Three broadcast speeds — Frequent (~2s), Balanced (~5s), Saver (~10s)
• Optional auto-resume on boot

On the phone

• A three-step setup page — generate keys, pick settings, send to watch
• Once configured, the page collapses to a "last seen" view with a map
• Apple ID sign-in is optional, just for map lookups
• Your private keys stay in your browser — the server never sees them

Platforms targeted

• Pebble Time / Time Steel — primary test target
• Time 2 — included in this build
• Pebble Round 2 — included in this build
• Pebble 2 Duo, Pebble Time Round, Pebble 2 / 2 HR — coming in a future update
