Setup

Install the app from the Pebble app store (or download the .pbw from the latest release and open it with the Pebble app on your phone).
In Karakeep, go to Settings > API Keys and create a new key.
Open Karakeep Reader's settings in the Pebble app on your phone.
Enter your server URL (for example https://karakeep.example.com) and the API key, then save.

Good to know

Requires your own Karakeep instance and an internet connection on your phone.
Your URL and API key are stored only in the Pebble app on your phone and are used only to talk to your server.
Text only: images are not shown, and very long articles are cut after about 14,000 characters.
Built for Pebble Time 2 (emery), Pebble Round 2 (gabbro), Pebble 2 Duo (flint) and Pebble 2 (diorite).
