What it does

Everything the web UI does, in your pocket

Two-minute setup

The app walks you through first-time Wi-Fi setup — it finds the panel's own hotspot, hands over your network credentials, done. No router spelunking, no typing IP addresses.

One tap between modes

Arcade, clock, music spectrum, environment — switch instantly from the app instead of hunting for the browser tab you used last time.

Every knob, in reach

Brightness, clock styles, spectrum themes, mic sensitivity — the same controls as the web UI, laid out for thumbs instead of cursors.

One-tap time sync

Sync the panel's clock straight from your phone. It lands on the hardware RTC, so time stays correct even with the Wi-Fi off.

Local by design

The app talks straight to your panel over your own Wi-Fi — the same connection as the web UI. No account, no cloud relay, no telemetry.

Free — really free

No ads, no subscription, no sign-up wall. Download it, use it. That's the whole business model for the app.

Install

Three steps, one minute

The app ships as a direct APK download while the store listing is being prepared — here's the whole ritual.

Download the APK

Tap the download button above. You'll get PixelArtDisplay-v0.1.0.apk (6.3 MB) — a direct download, no store account needed.

Allow the install

Android asks for permission to install from your browser the first time — a one-time prompt, and normal for direct APK downloads outside the Play Store.

Open & connect

Keep your phone on the same Wi-Fi as the panel — or near it during first-time setup — and the app finds it automatically.

Using an iPhone?

You don't need this app. The panel serves its own web UI — open pixelartdisplay.local in Safari and you get the same setup, modes and controls. A native iOS version isn't available yet; the web UI covers everyday control today.
