Vibetime is a shell script that tells the current time using the vibrator. The idea is that you can activate the script while the Freerunner is in your pocket (via some hardware button) and you know the time without looking at the screen or taking it out of your pocket.
The vibe scheme is as follows: First there are between 1 and 12 "vibes" depending on the current hour, then there is a short pause and after that between 1 and 4 "vibes" depending on the quarter of the hour (4 meaning between 0 and 15 minutes). Please extend this script if you like it! An idea someone could perhaps implement: The application could be activated by "tapping" the freerunner twice (registered via the accelerometers). This could perhaps be possible using wake-on-accelerometers... By the way: I thought about this application already some years ago when I got my first symbian phone. Of course, such an application was not possible at that time. Now it is just a small shell script you can write in some minutes!
