ImproHelper is a small, focused app for the Pebble smartwatch that generates random improv scene prompts directly on your wrist. With just a few button presses, it creates a combination of two roles, a scenario, and an unexpected twist โ perfect for sparking creativity in improv sessions, storytelling, or quick creative exercises. The app is intentionally minimal, designed for speed and clarity, allowing users to generate and explore ideas without distraction.
Pebble Watchfaces and App
I love Gadgets. And the Pebble Smartwatch – a re-birth of the same watch from 2016 – was just what I needed. So, of course i had to make Watchfaces and an App for it.
Tiny RPG Day
Your inner world, reimagined as a character sheet.
Tiny RPG Day is a self-awareness companion designed for Pebble smartwatches. Instead of tracking steps or productivity, it reflects something more subtle: your inner state.
Through quick check-ins, your mood, energy, focus, and overwhelm are transformed into a living RPG character โ complete with a class, a narrative, and a small โquestโ for the moment.
Itโs not a game. Itโs a mirror.
Concept
Most tracking tools reduce you to numbers.
Tiny RPG Day does the opposite โ it turns your state into a story.
At any point in the day, you might discover you are:
- an Ember Knight โ focused and energized
- a Fog-Walker โ moving through mental haze
- a Cozy Druid โ balanced and grounded
Each check-in becomes a chapter, building a quiet narrative of your day from morning to night.
A Day as a Story
The app divides the day into four narrative phases:
- Dawn โ beginnings and potential
- Journey โ action and momentum
- Return โ reflection and slowdown
- Rest โ recovery and stillness
Each check-in is contextualized within this rhythm, turning your day into a continuous arc instead of isolated moments.
STILLTIME WATCHFACE
A mindful watchface that invites reflection, one glance at a time
StillTime is a minimal watchface for Pebble smartwatches designed around aย simple idea: what if checking the time could also be a moment of pause? Insteadย of just displaying hours and minutes, StillTime pairs the time with rotating emotional vibes andย gentle reflective prompts that change every hour.
The Challenge
Most watchfaces prioritize information density โ steps, weather, notifications. But for users seeking calm in a hyperconnected world, this adds noise rather than value. I wanted to create something that felt more like a companion than a dashboard.
Emotional resonance over data.ย Each hour,ย StillTime displays a new vibe phrase like โsoftย but steadyโ or โtired but tryingโ โ language that validates ratherย than demands. Below it, a reflective prompt like โwhat doย you notice?โ invites a micro-moment of awareness.
Platform-aware aesthetics.ย Color Pebbles (Time, Time Steel, Time Round) get the full experience: sixย rotating color palettes, smooth slide-in animations, gradientย backgrounds, and a decorative leaf icon. The original B&W Pebble receivesย a clean, minimal adaptation that respects its constraints.
Hourly variety.ย The color scheme rotates every hour, so the watchface feels fresh throughout the day without requiring user interaction.
Weird Fortune
Because your wrist deserves better than just telling time.
The Problem With Watchfaces
Most watchfaces do exactly one thing: show you the time. Maybe theย date. Perhaps a step count if theyโre feeling fancy.
But hereโs the thingโyou glance at your watch dozens of times a day.ย Thatโs dozens of tiny moments. Dozens of micro-interactions. And allย you get isโฆ numbers?
I think yourย wrist deserves something weirder.
Weird Fortuneย is a Pebble watchface that shows you the timeย andย delivers a tiny, absurd fortune messageย every hour. Think fortune cookies, but written by someone whoโs hadย too much coffee and not enough sleep.
Some examples:
- โtoday a pigeon respects youโ
- โavoid dramatic sandwichesโ
- โthe vibes are oddly premiumโ
- โdo not trust that bananaโ
Are theyย useful? Absolutely not. Are they delightful? Absolutely yes!
Why โWeirdโ?
Because the world hasย enough serious things. Your watch doesnโt need to be one of them.
Weird Fortune is for people who:
- Appreciate aย good non-sequitur
- Find joy in small, strange moments
- Want theirย technology to make them smile instead of stress them out
- Believe that โyour aura needs snacksโ is genuinely good advice
IMPROHELPER FOR PEBBLE
Built using the Pebble SDK in C, the app runs fully offline and is optimized for the constraints of a smartwatch interface. It includes features such as different prompt modes, a favorites system, and a streamlined navigation flow tailored to Pebbleโs physical buttons and small screen.
Pebble watches were among the first truly accessible smartwatches, known for their simplicity, long battery life, and developer-friendly ecosystem.
Iโve always loved the original Pebble watches โ their philosophy, their design, and their community โ and Iโm really looking forward to using the new generation of Pebble devices again.
