Your camera glows when something needs you. Tap the glow to read.

At rest, Lumisle draws nothing, so you only see your camera. When something happens, a ring lights up around the camera in the color of that app's icon, and the island opens just enough to show it. Then it goes back to being a camera.

IN PLACE OF THE NORMAL POP-UP
Lumisle takes the place of Android's normal pop-up and keeps a copy in your notification shade. Calls are left alone. Want less? Set any app to ring only, and its alerts just light the camera.

WORDS FIRST
Messages open with the words as the biggest thing on the card, so you can read them at a glance. Reply or mark as read, and carry on with what you were doing. Where the app allows replies, you can answer right from the island.

COPY THE CODE
When a message holds a one-time login code, a Copy code button appears at every size. Copy it and stay where you are.

A SIZE FOR EVERY APP
Choose from four sizes: Small, Medium, Large and Big. Lumisle starts with what suits each thing: music, timers and charging stay small, and calls and text messages open large. Change any of it in a few taps, and give any app its own size.

LIVE THINGS STAY IN VIEW
• Music, with playback controls and a choice of where it plays
• Timers and stopwatches
• Calls
• Directions
• Charging, with more detail as the island grows
• Downloads
• Volume, brightness and flashlight
• Camera and microphone in use

MAKE IT YOURS
• Ring effects, from a still ring to comets, sparks, smoke and aurora
• Themes, from solid black to Material You and a plain card like a normal notification
• Choose what tap, hold and swipe do
• Try any effect or theme on your own camera before you decide

NO INTERNET PERMISSION
Lumisle has no internet permission, no account, no ads and no analytics. Words of waiting messages are stored encrypted on your phone until you deal with them. When you tap Reply, Directions or Call, the app that does that job takes over.

FREE, WITH ONE ONE-TIME UNLOCK
Free includes every size, a size for each app, the ring, alerts from every app that isn't for messaging, and 4 messaging apps you choose. The unlock is one payment of $3.49 in the US, with no subscription. It adds every messaging app, more ring effects and themes, a ring color and time for one app, extra gestures, shortcuts and widgets on the island. A messaging app over the free limit keeps its normal notifications, so its messages still reach you.

GOOD TO KNOW
• Built on a Galaxy Z Fold 7, with a screen to line the island up with your camera.
• Made for phones with a round punch-hole camera.
• Battery saver has Off, Auto and On. On holds the glow still. Auto moves it in short bursts and stops when your battery is low.
• Stays quiet in video and game apps.
• Copies in your notification shade appear under the name Lumisle, because Android doesn't let an app post under another app's name.

WHY LUMISLE ASKS FOR THESE PERMISSIONS
• Notification access: to show your notifications and music on the island.
• Accessibility service: Android only lets accessibility services draw above the status bar, which the island needs. Lumisle uses it to draw the island and to know which app is open, so it can stay quiet in video and game apps and clear messages you've already opened. It doesn't read your screen.
