"Light has announced a developer program for the Light Phone III which will let people create tools for the minimalist device. The idea is to provide a curated, non-commercial, open-source platform of user-created tools that expand the utility of the device - without compromising the Light mission to create technology that doesn't want your constant attention."
"The company says that it'll only include tools 'blessed by Light,' and goes on to note that 'each tool must serve a clear intentional purpose, and of course, respect user-privacy to the fullest extent.'"
"The SDK will allow developers to access things like push notifications and access to media like photos, videos, audio and other files on the device (with a user's permission, of course). The SDK also includes an open source UI/UX library for building tools, and an emulator for testing tools without actually having a Light Phone on hand."
The Light Phone III, a minimalist device, is launching a developer program to allow the creation of user-generated tools. This program will provide an SDK and a platform for sharing tools, ensuring they align with Light's mission of reducing distractions. Tools must be curated, serve intentional purposes, and respect user privacy. The SDK will enable developers to access notifications and media, along with an open-source UI/UX library. The SDK is expected to be available in June, with a vetting process for submissions.
