Arrange your glances

Add, remove, reorder. Nothing touches the device until you apply.

The home strip holds up to eight glances, and it lives on the device — the cards stay there with nothing connected. You change what is on it from the companion on your Mac: add a card, drop one, or reorder them. Every edit is a draft until you apply it. Apply pushes the whole strip to the device at once; Revert throws the draft away and puts back what the device has.

Open the strip in the companion

The strip shows the glances in the order they sit on the device, left to right. This is your workspace — nothing here has reached the device yet.

Add, remove, reorder

Add a glance and pick what it is — a template you fill with widgets, or a card an app ships whole. Drag a card to a new spot to change where it lands on the device. Drop one you no longer want. One glance always has to stay: the strip can't be empty.

Review the pending changes

The companion lists what you're about to do — add, remove, edit, move, one line per change. Nothing on this list has touched the device yet.

Apply

Apply sends the strip to the device in one commit and the device redraws. If it fails, the draft stays exactly as it was so you can try again. Not ready? Revert restores the device's version and clears the draft.

The draft is yours until you apply it.

Adding, removing, reordering, and the button and microphone settings on each card all stage together in the same draft. They reach the device on one Apply — never halfway. Between sessions there is no draft: the device holds the real strip, and opening the companion reads it back.

What lands on a card

A glance is more than its picture — it carries its own buttons, its own microphone mode, and its extra pages. Those settings stage in the same draft as the strip and commit on the same Apply, so binding a button and moving the card it lives on happen together.

Why Apply is all-or-nothing

The companion holds two copies of the strip: the snapshot it read from the device, and the draft you edit. Apply walks the draft against the snapshot and commits the difference in one pass, then reads the device back to become the new snapshot. That is why a failed Apply leaves your draft intact, and why the device — not the companion — is the source of truth once you close the app.
