SopFaceForge

A native macOS studio for designing Garmin Connect IQ watch faces visually — then exporting a real Monkey C project you own. No lock-in.

Built for Connect IQ makers

Design on a live device preview, snap layouts across round and rectangular families, and leave with a project you can open in VS Code and compile with the official Garmin toolchain.

  • Visual watch-face editor Layers, inspector, and ambient/time mocks on real device families.
  • Export real Monkey C Complete jungle project — not a proprietary format.
  • Simulator & USB helpers Run in the Connect IQ Simulator; stage PRGs for MTP watches (direct edition).
  • Toolchain guidance Settings checklist for SDK Manager, JDK, devices, and developer key.
Mac App Store / TestFlight builds run in Apple’s App Sandbox, so one-click monkeyc Build and USB install are limited there. Use Export Code, then compile with the Garmin Connect IQ SDK. The direct notarized edition includes full Build & USB helpers.
