At the moment, the Healthmate app is only available for the Android and Iphone users. But a community of Scanwatches' and others Withings' products enthousiasts are using Sailfish OS as a daily smartphone.
We ask from the dev team to think about a native Sailfish OS app.
In the other hand, if the dev team would like to share the protocol specifications, we (as the community) could port the basic features to the Sailfish OS ecosystem or help the team on the portage.
Here is the link to the Sailfish OS official website https://sailfishos.org/.

I'd rather have a usable local API or communication protocol between watch and host-device publicly documented, thus without any online service as intermediate. If this is properly documented (and maintained), Sailfish OS developers can build their own app. I am actually currently (still) wearing a Pebble Steel, which has an excellent companion app on Sailfish OS because the protocol was open and published.
When I just tried to sign up (which was far from smooth experience. You might want to strip whitespaces on those e-mail input fields) I got greeted with this "required" checkbox:
I used a anonymous account for this, but no, I will not buy a device which has this as requirement to be able to even use it. This kind of data does not have to leave my own devices at any time.
So please, publish the protocol. An app, if local-only is an option, is of course welcome as well. But still, the protocol is what matters.
