UNA app competition
Build apps for UNA.
Win prizes.
Every month, we challenge developers to build something new for the UNA watch with our open SDK. The top three apps win cash prizes, and three entrants win a watch. Free to enter; no watch needed.
In October, we launched our first-ever app development competition. Many apps and faces later, three stood out to us.
Each of them was built using our SDK and published through the developer portal. Here are our winners!
