Show HN: Open Wearables – self-hosted wearable data platform with an AI layer

This is great. We're building Adola (https://adola.app), a subscription-free smart ring with a similar focus on data ownership. One of the biggest hurdles we've found is that even if the hardware is solid, the vendor-locked APIs (Oura/Whoop) make it really hard for users to actually 'own' their biometrics.

Our goal is to give users direct access to the raw PPG and sensor data without it being gated by a cloud subscription. Integrating with a platform like Open Wearables is exactly the kind of ecosystem we'd love to support.

Hey! Your ring looks very promising, especially the subscription-free model and the focus on raw sensor access. Curious about the data access side on your end - are you planning to expose the PPG/sensor data via an SDK, a REST API, or both? I'd want to understand the data flow to figure out the best integration path (e.g. whether we'd pull from a local SDK on-device or sync from a cloud endpoint) with Open Wearables.

Interesting project.

I've been thinking a lot about tools for organizing long AI conversations. Curious how people here currently manage them.
