Pebble does one thing: it remembers where you were, so you can get back there. Tap "Save location" and the spot is saved — where you parked, where your bike is, where the tent stands, the café you want to find again. Give it a name if you like; Pebble fills in the address by itself. Getting back is the point. Pick a pin and Pebble shows the distance and a compass needle that points straight at it, updated as you walk. Within a kilometre you get the actual walking route and time on the map; further away, the needle and a shortcut to directions in Apple Maps. When you arrive, Pebble tells you. On Apple Watch, Pebble saves a pin from your wrist and follows it with the same compass, so your phone can stay in your pocket. - Save your current spot, or long-press anywhere on the map - Compass, distance and walking route back to any pin - Arrival detection with a gentle tap when you're there - Move, rename, undo and delete pins - Share a pin as an Apple Maps link - Syncs between your iPhone and Apple Watch through your own iCloud - Light and dark mode No account. No ads. No analytics. Your pins live on your device and in your private iCloud, and nowhere else. Requires iOS 26.2 or later.
