Make Glyphs useful again
Hello everyone,
I’m really excited to show what I’ve been working on over the last month. As you may have guessed from the title, Glyphify v2.0 is now available on Google Play Store!
For those unfamiliar with Glyphify, it’s an app designed specifically for Nothing Phones that aims to take full advantage of the Glyph interface.
Glyphify v1.0 was an open-source project I started out of passion and a desire to tinker with Nothing’s Glyph Developer Kit, the original purpose was to make an automatic way to compose ringtones with glyph synching. It then expanded by including Phone(2a)'s charging meter and a better version of Nothing’s Essential.
Glyphify v2.0 is a significant milestone for me. I’ve been hard at work to make the experience as coherent and smooth as possible while also making it more complete with new ways of using the Glyph interface.Let’s dive into all the features this version packs:
🎶Automatic Composer: Automatically converts any song (.mp3, .wav, etc.) into a Glyph-synced ringtone with superior accuracy compared to the built-in Nothing algorithm. Phone(2) users can enjoy 11 zones addressing for their ringtones. Each conversion is unique, so you can choose your favorite version!
🎧Glyphify Studio: The first “Glyph Studio” made for an app. Build your own Glyph-synced ringtone from the ground up, on the go. Glyphify Studio makes it easy to create a ringtone, offering keyframe suggestions to match the song’s tempo, built-in automatic effects (like matching volume or Glyph progression), and the ability to slow down the glyph preview to get those syncs just right!If you’re not satisfied with your creation, you can also load it back into Glyphify Studio and modify it again.
🔋Phone(2a) Charging Meter: Restore the missing charging meter feature found on other Nothing phones with Glyphify. You can toggle it on and off from the app’s settings.
⏰Battery Alarm: Be notified via a Glyph animation and customizable sound when your Nothing device has reached a specified battery percentage (customizable animation will be introduced in a future update).
🔔Extential (previously Extended Essential): Map any Glyph zone to multiple contacts and apps. The Glyph will remain on until you address the notification. Extential takes it a step further by providing multiple animations for each Glyph zone, don’t limit yourself to a static effect. In Glyphify v2.0 you can also map multiple zones to the same contact or app and make more personalized patterns. Extential’s animations can also be displayed even when the phone is not locked. You can also seamlessly switch between animations and mappings meanwhile the animations are ongoing. Finally, Phone(2a) users can fragment the variable glyph into up to 3 fragments to compensate for the lower number of glyphs. Each fragment is treated as a new variable glyph, effectively giving the phone a maximum of 5 glyphs.
Besides introducing new features and redefining old ones, the app also received an overall UI overhaul to make it more intuitive and in line with Nothing’s style.
Everything you’ve just read is inside a single app! You can find Glyphify on Google Play Store.
Finally, thanks to everyone who has donated or contributed to the first version of the app!
