TTMM Utilities

Utilities

Just a little help for my friends.

 

The Utilities return — this time for the Pebble Time 2 smartwatch. TTMM Utilities are small, single-purpose tools: each does one thing, quickly and clearly, with high functionality and the TTMM standard of visual quality. Everything is set directly on the watch, and a clear interface — big white digits, gray intervals, colored accents in clean hierarchy — helps you put the everyday events of your time in order.

These apps do not follow phone habits. The grid, the touch targets and the amount held on one screen were worked out for a small screen and four buttons: movement goes by whole screens rather than by rows, and everything you set lives on the watch. That is new, so it asks for a few minutes of practice. After that it is quicker than anything that starts with taking your phone out.

First out: TTMM Alarms — a touch-first alarm clock with 24 colored tags, set in three steps on the watch. Eight alarms, full-screen NOW alerts, a 48-hour free trial.

Now joined by TTMM Timers — eight touch-first timers with colored tags for home, sport and cooking, each world ending with its own word: now, stop, check. A 24-hour free trial.

TTMM Codes — a touch vault for the numbers you keep coming back to: twenty entries under colored tags, revealed with a tap, guarded up to real encryption — for your eyes only. A 48-hour free trial.

More are on their way. All distributed through the TTMM Dev Stream — TTMM’s own stream in the Pebble appstore: apps.ttmm.is.

Useful letters all the time.

What you need

Which watch?

Pebble Time 2. The appstore hides whatever your connected watch cannot run, so on an earlier Pebble the TTMM section comes up empty — that is the filter doing its job, not a broken store.

Which Pebble app?

The current one. Custom sources are a recent addition, and a source can hold a stale copy of the feed until the app re-syncs. If the TTMM section stays empty on an app you believe is up to date, reinstall the phone app — it forces a fresh sync.

Will I know how to use them straight away?

Honestly, no — and that is worth saying plainly. These apps put the whole of their everyday controls on the watch, so the grammar has to be denser than on a phone: the same gesture means different things in different places, and some controls sit behind a long press so that a fold of skin cannot reach them.

That density is the price of not needing the phone, and it asks for a few minutes of practice. After that it is quicker than anything that starts with taking your phone out — nothing is a menu away.

Getting the apps

Where do the apps come from?

From TTMM’s own stream in the Pebble appstore. Open apps.ttmm.is on your phone and tap the button — it adds the source to the Pebble app for you. If you add it by hand, the address has to be exactly https://apps.ttmm.is/pebble/api; anything shorter subscribes to nothing.

Where do they show up?

In the Pebble app under Apps, not Faces. The TTMM section has two tiles, Faces and Tools & Utilities — Alarms, Codes and Timers live in the second one.

What does adding the stream look like?

Six screens, start to finish — tap to enlarge. Numbered discs are taps; the ring is a check — make sure TTMM stays on. iPhone shown; Android asks the same question in its own words.

Adding the TTMM stream to the Pebble app: apps.ttmm.is, Open in Pebble, Add Appstore Source with https://apps.ttmm.is/pebble/api filled in, TTMM listed under Appstore Sources, the TTMM section under Apps, and Tools & Utilities showing TTMM Alarms, Codes and Timers

Why is the Faces tile empty?

It is not waiting to be filled. It holds the TIC-TTMM collection, drawn for the older Pebble screen, so a Pebble Time 2 hides it — the same filter as above. Watchfaces designed for the Pebble Time 2 are a separate collection, in development.

Using them

Touch or buttons?

Both, and each does a different job. Touch is for what you do every day — start, pause, pick, edit. The buttons on the right move you around and hold the settings. One rule sits under all of it: if it changes what you see, it’s touch; if it moves you or sets the app up, it’s a button.

What is the lock for?

Your watch presses its own buttons — a fold of skin on the wrist can hit the middle button easily. So the middle button carries a lock instead of an action: press it twice to lock or unlock.

While locked, only browsing works; volume and sound type (a long hold on DOWN and UP) are available once you unlock. Nobody changes their alarm volume by accident at night.

Do these apps need my phone?

Not for the everyday. Alarms and timers are stored on the watch and fire from the watch — no Bluetooth, no internet, no server. The phone is needed to install the apps and for the licence check, nothing beyond that.

Do they send my data anywhere?

No. What you set stays on the watch. There is no account, no cloud and no telemetry; the only outside call is KiezelPay’s licence check, made by the phone.

Timers in particular

Can I change a timer after I’ve made it?

Yes. Everything you can change about a timer sits behind one door: a tap on the time. That opens the keypad, and the tag is changed from inside that screen too — tap the tag icon there, not on the list. SET confirms.

Why is one of my timers blinking?

A pulsing interval on the list means that timer is paused. It’s not an error and it isn’t edit mode.

What does pausing do to the order of my list?

Nothing. A paused timer stays exactly where it is — it’s a frozen interval, not a timer on its way out. Resume it with the icon, or hold it to stop it.

How do I get to the other timers quickly?

Eight slots are two screens. The UP button jumps to the top of the list, DOWN jumps to the end — one press each way, no scrolling row by row.

Why can’t I delete a running timer?

By design. A timer can only be deleted once it’s stopped, so a running or paused interval can’t disappear under your finger.

Trying and buying

How long is the trial?

48 hours for Alarms and Codes, 24 hours for Timers — everything unlocked, counted from installation, not from first use.

What happens when the trial ends?

The app locks and shows a purchase code for kzl.io/code. Nothing is erased — what you set up returns the moment you unlock.

Can I buy before the trial ends?

Yes. Open the app on the watch, then tap BUY NOW on its settings page — the trial ends and the purchase code appears on the watch right away. Finish at kzl.io/code.

How do I pay?

Enter the purchase code from your watch on the first screen at kzl.io/code. Checkout follows: an address for the receipt, then PayPal or card. Card and wallet payments carry a $0.30 processing fee from KiezelPay; PayPal does not.

I have a discount code — where does it go?

Two different codes meet at kzl.io/code. The first screen asks for the purchase code from your watch. A discount code goes in the promo field at checkout, one step later — and it works only on the apps it was issued for. In the wrong place, or at the checkout of a different app, it will always come back as “not found or expired”.

How much?

USD 2.99 plus applicable taxes, per app, once. No subscription, no account, no renewal. The licence follows your watch. Purchases are handled by KiezelPay.

I reinstalled an app — do I pay again?

No. The licence follows your watch and the app unlocks itself again. If it does not, write to KiezelPay at help@kiezelpay.com.

Can I get a refund?

Purchases are handled by KiezelPay and refunds follow their policy — help@kiezelpay.com.

More answers in the FAQ. Anything unclear or broken — write to biuro@ttmm.com.pl. I answer myself.
