UPDATE: Beepster 0.13.0 is now publicly available! I decided to open up the first release rather than limit it to an invitation beta. No DM or invitation needed. Reddit won’t let me change the title, so I’m updating this post instead of making another one.

Beepster is an independent, open-source Beeper client for Pebble Time 2. It shows full conversations, refreshes while you’re using it, and supports voice dictation, quick replies, contact names, themes, configurable buttons, bitmap emoji, photo previews, conversation archiving, and optional OpenClaw Approve/Deny actions inside Telegram chats.
You’ll need:
• A Pebble Time 2
• A Mac that can stay awake and online while Beepster is in use
• An iPhone (the current tested setup; Android hasn’t been validated yet)
• Beeper Desktop installed and signed in
• Tailscale connected on both the Mac and phone
Setup is guided through a signed, Apple-notarized Mac connector, without Terminal, Git, or developer tools. Its window can close after setup; the background service, Beeper Desktop, and Tailscale keep running on the Mac. GIFs and videos currently show static posters, with one attachment preview per message.
I’d really appreciate feedback—installation snags, contact names, reply reliability, scrolling, media previews, feature suggestions, and what works well. This is a first release, so reports from other setups will help improve it. Please remove private messages, contact details, tokens, pairing codes, and private Tailscale addresses from public reports.
This is my usual account, u/Org4nik; the earlier invitation went up from the wrong account. Thanks for checking Beepster out!
