Open Settings from the App Launcher (swipe up from the watchface, tap the gear icon) or from the Quick Settings panel (swipe down from the watchface, tap the gear icon). All changes take effect immediately — there is no save button.

To preview a change on the watchface without leaving Settings, start a downward swipe from the top of the screen to peek at the homescreen, then reverse the swipe to return.

Display

  • Brightness — Set the display brightness using the scrubber, or tap the plus and minus buttons at either end of the scrubber track to increment or decrement by 10.
  • Automatic Brightness — Enables automatic brightness adjustment based on ambient light.
  • Always-On Display (AoD) — See the Quick Settings Panel page for a full description of AoD and its display-type-specific behaviour. This toggle controls the same setting.
  • Burn-in Protection — Periodically shifts the AoD watchface to prevent OLED pixel wear. Available levels are High, Mid, Low, and Off. Recommended for any OLED watch using AoD regularly. The shift may look like a bug — it is intentional.
  • Tilt-to-Wake — Wakes the display from AoD when you tilt your wrist toward you. Has a notable battery cost due to frequent accidental triggers. Disable unless you find waking the display by button press inconvenient.
  • Tap-to-Wake — Wakes the display from AoD on a tap of the screen.

Nightstand

Nightstand mode activates automatically when the watch is placed on a charger. It shows a charging ring for at-a-glance charge status and switches to a simplified large-time watchface for use as a bedside clock.

  • Enabled — Toggles the Nightstand feature on or off.
  • Brightness — Sets the display brightness while Nightstand is active. Adjust using the scrubber or the plus and minus buttons.
  • Delay — How long after removal from the charger before Nightstand mode deactivates.
  • Always-On Display — Toggles AoD while Nightstand is active.
  • Custom Watchface — When enabled, reveals a watchface selector below. The chosen watchface is shown exclusively during Nightstand mode, leaving your regular watchface unaffected.

Quick Settings

Configures the layout and appearance of the Quick Settings panel. Drag toggles to reorder them in the sliding row. Tap a toggle to enable or disable its appearance in the panel. See the Quick Settings Panel page for descriptions of each individual toggle.

Options at the bottom of the page:

  • Battery meter at bottom — Enabled by default. Uncheck to mirror the layout and place the battery meter above the sliding row instead.
  • Colored battery fill — Shows the battery meter fill in colour, transitioning from green at full charge to red at low charge.
  • Battery fill animations — Enables particle animations inside the battery meter.
  • Particle design — Tap to cycle through the available particle styles: diamonds, bubbles, AsteroidOS logos, and flashes.

Wallpaper

A two-column gallery of wallpapers sorted by hue, mirroring the rainbow progression of the App Launcher. Wallpapers become progressively brighter and more colourful toward the bottom of the gallery. Tap a wallpaper to select it. Peek to the homescreen by swiping down from the top to see the change instantly without leaving the page.

Watchface

A gallery of 18 stock watchfaces covering a variety of designs and complications. The selected watchface is paired with your chosen wallpaper already in the gallery view. Peek to the homescreen to see the change instantly without leaving the page.

  • SSH — Enables SSH access over USB. See the SSH and IP Connection guides for instructions.
