Pinky Notes and AI Research
Pinky is a voice-notes app for microphone-equipped Pebble smartwatches, inspired by the idea behind the Index 01: capturing a thought without reaching for your phone.
Since I cannot really wear a ring at work, I wanted to bring that same low-friction experience to something already on my wrist. With Pinky set as a Pebble Quick Launch shortcut, a long press from the watchface opens directly into dictation. Once transcribed, the note is saved to the phone.
Pinky currently includes:
a phone-local note library with search, copy, delete, and export
optional AI research through OpenRouter using your own API key and preferred model
configurable voice commands such as “research”
optional email delivery for notes, research results, and daily or weekly digests
support for Pinky Mail, EmailJS, or a private HTTPS relay
The core note-taking functionality works without a self-hosted server. AI and email features are entirely optional.
Pinky is designed for microphone-equipped Pebbles, including the Time, Time Steel, Time Round, Pebble 2, Pebble 2 Duo, Time 2, and Round 2.
The goal is simple: press, speak, save. From there, Pinky can either stay a lightweight voice-note tool or become a small research and capture assistant.
