We all knew it was just a matter of time before Pebble got into the app store game. Well that time is now, apparently. The wildly popular smartwatch today announced that it plans to roll out an app store loaded with compatible apps that’s ready for every customers wrist. It’s will be known as the “first-of-its-kind wearable application directory.”
Pebble is doing some really incredible stuff for a company that’s been out for a little over a year. Many of its engineering feats could be due to its SDK that’s open to all want to build things for the smartwatch. Recently the company donated 4,000 Pebble watches to some of the brightest young minds in the country.

Saddle up Pebble devs: the Pebble appstore is coming soon
Today, we are proud to announce exciting news to our developer community: the Pebble Developer Portal is now open! Pebble app developers can now upload their Pebble apps for distribution in the upcoming Pebble appstore. When it launches in early 2014, the Pebble appstore will be a first-of-its-kind wearable tech application directory—giving Pebble users a one-stop-shop for searching, browsing, and installing Pebble watch faces and apps directly from the iOS or Android Pebble smartphone app.
The introduction of SDK 2.0 included four major new APIs—Javascript, Accelerometer, Data Logging, and Persistent Storage—and the response has been phenomenal. We know developers have excitedly anticipated submitting their SDK 2.0 Pebble apps to the Pebble app store.
The time is now.
