### Setting up date and time
By default, InfiniTime starts on the digital watchface. It'll probably display
the epoch time (1 Jan 1970, 00:00).
You can set the time (and date) manually, or have a companion app do it for you.
InfiniTime doesn't handle daylight savings automatically, so make sure to set
the correct time or sync with a companion app.
#### Using companion apps
Date and time are set by the companion app once the PineTime is connected over

### Companion apps
PineTime can be used as a standalone watch, displaying date and time (which can
be configured from the watch itself since InfiniTime 1.7.0), as well as
heart-rate, number of steps, used as a torchlight, or just to play the included
games (2048, Pong, and Draw).
To get more features, Companion apps, which are applications running on a
smartphone or a computer, and are paired to the PineTime, are required.
There are multiple Companion apps available:
- Smartphones:
- Android: [GadgetBridge](https://gadgetbridge.org/)
- SailfishOS: [Amazfish](https://openrepos.net/content/piggz/amazfish/)
- iOS: [InfiniLink](https://github.com/xan-m/InfiniLink)
- PinePhone (Linux phone): [Siglo](https://github.com/alexr4535/siglo)
- Linux Computer:
- [Amazfish](https://openrepos.net/content/piggz/amazfish/) and
[Siglo](https://github.com/alexr4535/siglo) will also work, but may require
some manual installation.
### The InfiniTime UI
The UI is composed of 4 different areas:
- the main watchface
- the notification screen (swipe down)
- apps drawer (swipe up)
- quick settings (swipe right)
#### Watchfaces
The default watchface is the "digital one", which displays date and time, as
well as the number of steps, heart-rate, bluetooth icon (when connected),
battery status, and possibly missed notifications.
There are 2 other watchfaces:
- Analog
- PineTimeStyle
(Add pics from the watchfaces)
#### Notification screen
When swiping down, the last notification is displayed.
Up to 5 notifications can be displayed: simply swipe up again the display the
next notification.
To come back to the watchface, press the left button.
It is currently not possible to discard notifications, unless you restart
InfiniTime (long press on the button for ~8 seconds).
(Insert notification pics)
#### Apps drawer
When swiping up, the apps drawer allows launching applications.
There are 2 pages with each 6 applications (2 rows of 3 apps):
Page 1:
- Stopwatch
- Music control
- Navigation (only works with PureMaps/Sailfish OS)
- Steps counter
- Heart-rate
- Countdown
Page 2:
- Draw
- Pong game
- 2048 game
- Accelerometer
- Metronome
- Alarm
(Add pics of the 2 pages of apps)
**(Note to JF: does it make sense to have a subsection for each app, with
screenshots and more details?)**
#### Quick settings
When swiping right, you get access to 4 icons - from top left to bottom right:
- brightness level: pressing it will cycle between 3 levels (low/medium/high)
- torch:
- a tap launches it,
- another tap switches it on,
- another one switches it off,
- swiping to the right or left changes the brightness level of the torch
- silent mode:
- a green bell symbol means silent mode is off (so the watch will vibrate when
receiving a notification),
- taping it enables it: the icon becomes grey, and the watch will not vibrate
when receiving notifications)
- settings: access to InfiniTime settings
- Display timeout (in seconds)
- Wake up: how to wake up the watch
- nothing selected means only the left button wakes up the watch
- single tap: tap one time on the screen to wake up the watch
- double tap: tap two times to wake it up
- raise wrist: screen will wake up when you raise your wrist
- Time format: 12h or 24h
- Watch face: choose between digital, analog and PineTimeStyle
- Steps: define your daily goal
- Set date: allows manually setting date
- Set time: allows manually setting time
- Battery: displays battery level and voltage
- PTS Colors: allows changing colors for the PineTimeStyle watchface
