Apt 1.0

Apt, by Keith Lee Wilmot, is a unique palm application. It is something of a mix between a preferences application, a button launcher and a macro program. The most distinguishing feature from other applications is that almost everything it does is on a per-application basis. The combination of per-application settings and arbitrary combination of events and responses leads to a tool that let's you customize control of your device to your heart's content.

Apt's unique combination of per-application settings and arbitrary combinations of events and responses let's you customize control of your device to your heart's content.

Here are some examples of what is possible:

• set IR always off except in apps where you need to beam
• have on-screen graffiti only where you need it (it can get in the way other places)
• turn off those annoying system sounds, except for in your speaking dictionary app
• keep prying eyes away from particular apps, but access them quickly yourself
• have different colour themes for different apps
• change your hotsync name and keep using those apps registered with the old name
• call up your most-used apps and functions extremely quickly
• different macros for differet programs
• launch apps extremely quickly by letter. Just start writing whenever a field does not have focus
• enable all apps that require it after a soft reset
• dim brightness slowly down in some apps to save energy when you're not using them. As soon as you tap, restore brightness to normal.
• scroll with pen strokes either in a fixed position or anywhere on the screen
• use your 5-way navigator with older games that only read hard keys usually.
• make a little diagonal stroke in the corner of the screen (or wherever you like) to rotate it
• call up different applications depending which SD card you insert
• setup a 'loop' of applications: use the same button to cycle through the applications in the loop.
• clear a fields text with a single swipe through the middle
• have a 'star' menu with your most used apps always on the 5-way navigator and the most recent apps handy below
• turn on onscreen graffiti when command bar comes up, turn off when it's gone
• when you go to app A, first visit app B (automatically) to enable a feature. When you leave app A, go to app B and disbable the feature again.
• and soooo much more...
