AsteroidOS 1.0 provides all the features needed for a modern
wearable experience: phone notifications, an agenda, an alarm clock, a calculator, a
music remote control, settings customizations, a stopwatch, a timer, and a weather forecast app are all included in this first release.
These features can be synchronized using Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) with
Android phones thanks to a companion app named AsteroidOSSync. Libraries, examples, and documentation are all provided to help developers create new connectivity features and synchronization applications for new platforms.
A wide variety of smartwatches are currently working: the
LG G Watch, LG G Watch Urbane, LG G Watch R,
Asus Zenwatch 1, Asus Zenwatch 2, Asus Zenwatch 3, and
Sony Smartwatch 3 are the initial hardware targets. Additionally, it can run on a software emulator for testing and development. The process of porting AsteroidOS to a new hardware watch is extensively documented in our wiki to help anyone expand our list of supported watches.
The smartwatch experience is highly customizable thanks to a community of watchfaces designers and developers. Documentation and support is provided to enable anyone to help create a new watchface.
AsteroidOS is fully translated in 20 languages: Chinese, Czesh, Danish, Dutch, English, Farsi, French, German, Greek, Hebrew, Italian, Kabyle, Korean, Norwegian, Portuguese, Russian, Slovak, Spanish, Turkish and Ukrainian. The project can be translated to more languages online.
Last, but not least, it comes with a Software Development Kit (SDK), examples, and a tutorial enabling developers to create new custom watch applications for the OS.
