# Pattern Launcher
|
|
|
|
Directly launch apps from the clock screen with custom patterns.
|
|
|
|
## Usage
|
|
|
|
Create patterns and link them to apps in the Pattern Launcher app.
|
|
|
|
Then launch the linked apps directly from the clock screen by simply drawing the desired pattern.
|
|
|
|
## Screenshots and detailed steps
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
From the main menu you can:
|
|
- Add a new pattern and link it to an app (first entry)
|
|
- To create a new pattern first select "Add Pattern"
|
|
- Now draw any pattern you like, this will later launch the linked app from the clock screen
|
|
- If you don't like the pattern, simply re-draw it. The previous pattern will be discarded.
|
|
- If you are happy with the pattern tap on screen or press the button to continue
|
|
- Now select the app you want to launch with the pattern.
|
|
- Note, you can bind multiple patterns to the same app.
|
|
- Remove linked patterns (second entry)
|
|
- To remove a pattern first select "Remove Pattern"
|
|
- You will now see a list of apps that have patterns linked to them
|
|
- Simply select the app that you want to unlink. This will remove the saved pattern, but not the app itself!
|
|
- Note, that you can not actually preview the patterns. This makes removing patterns that are linked to the same app annoying. sorry!
|
|
- Disable the lock screen on the clock screen from the settings (third entry)
|
|
- To launch the app from the pattern on the clock screen the watch must be unlocked.
|
|
- If this annoys you, you can disable the lock on the clock screen from the setting here

## FAQ
|
|
|
|
1) Nothing happens when I draw on the clock screen!
|
|
|
|
Please double-check if you actually have a pattern linked to an app.
|
|
|
|
2) I have a pattern linked to an app and still nothing happens when I draw on the clock screen!
|
|
|
|
Make sure the watch is unlocked before you start drawing. If this bothers you, you can permanently disable the watch-lock from within the Pattern Launcher app (via the Settings).
|
|
|
|
3) I have done all that and still nothing happens!
|
|
|
|
Please note that drawing on the clock screen will not visually show the pattern you drew. It will start the app as soon as the pattern was recognized - this might take 1 or 2 seconds! If still nothing happens, that might be a bug, sorry!
