Changelog

Version 1.5.02026-06-03T17:01:25.725

Time display

- Time numerals now use a bundled blocky font (Russo One, 50px), stacked tight and available in two sizes.
- New Time digit style: Solid, White, Outlined (palette glow-tone halo), and Themed color (digits take the active palette's accent, so they shift per theme).
- Light digit styles (white, themed) get a little extra spacing between the rows.
- Stacked hours over minutes.
- 12 or 24 hour time, optional leading zero on the hour.
- Four date formats (off, "D MON", "MON D", numeric), on both display shapes.
- More legible (lighter) date color.
- Optional temperature beside the date (Fahrenheit by default, Celsius toggle), fetched from your phone's location.
- Gold minute ring with 12 hour ticks, current hour highlighted in white.
- Optional red seconds comet with a 6-dot fading trail.

Backgrounds

- Five background treatments that reskin the whole face:
- Black (classic)
- White (light mode, mid-tone geometry)
- Theme color (deep theme-tinted backdrop)
- Inverse (bright theme background, geometry as a near-black cut-out)
- Inverse color (same, but the geometry circles carry the theme color)


- Per-mode recoloring of the background, geometry, gold ring, seconds comet, and text so every mode stays coherent.
- White and Inverse modes drop the central glow disc, outline the digits for legibility, and lengthen the hour ticks.

Sacred geometry

- Extended Flower of Life: 37 interlocking circles across 4 concentric rings.
- Metatron's Cube: 78 connecting lines in two brightness tiers (structural and ghost).
- Intersection jewels at the 6 geometric crossing points, with seed-glow halos.
- Ring hierarchy: dim outer ring, double-thick mid ring, luminous double-thick Seed of Life.
- All geometry precomputed once at launch (no per-frame trigonometry).

Battery

- Optional battery indicator drawn as a delicate beaded ring of theme-tinted jewels near the outer edge (the lit count shows charge); off by default.

Color

- Auto: the palette follows the real sun (Night, Golden, Day) from an on-watch sun-altitude calculation.
- Curated themes (Night, Golden, Day, Monochrome, Rose, Emerald, Vapor).
- Custom accent: pick one color and a full 12-tone radiating palette is derived from it.

Efficiency and dynamics

- Three animation modes: Always on, Flick/tap to reveal (a wrist flick wakes the seconds comet for a few seconds, then settles to minute updates), and Minute only.
- Cadence-driven redraw: the watch only ticks every second when the comet is live, otherwise once per minute.
- Breathing central glow phase-locked to seconds, plus a battery-aware outer glow.
- Bluetooth disconnect flashes the Seed of Life red.

Fixes and Technical Changes

- Native-C release. A ground-up rewrite of the original Moddable-JS Emanation in the Pebble C Foundation SDK, for lower power use and far more customization.
- Clay select settings (color theme, seconds mode, date format, time size, time style, background) were ignored on hardware because the values arrive as strings and were read as integers. They are now parsed correctly.
- Flick/tap-to-reveal reliability: the accelerometer tap service is no longer re-subscribed from inside its own callback (which could wedge it on hardware, so only firm shakes registered). The option is renamed "Flick/tap to reveal" to match the gesture.
- Pebble C Foundation SDK, targeting emery (rectangular) and gabbro (round), 64-color.
- Hardware-safe trigonometry (custom xsin, xcos, xatan2, xasin) that avoids the libm transcendental fault on real hardware.
- Settings via Clay (phone), persisted on the watch across launches.
- Sun altitude computed on-watch from Julian day, ecliptic coordinates, and location.

# Emanation — Changelog

## 1.0.0

Initial release.

### Sacred Geometry
- Extended Flower of Life: 37 interlocking circles across 4 concentric rings
- Metatron's Cube: 78 connecting lines in two brightness tiers (structural scaffold + ghost web)
- Intersection jewels: bright dots at the 6 geometric crossing points of the Flower
- Ring hierarchy: dim outer ring, substantial double-thick mid ring, luminous double-thick Seed of Life at center
- Seed glow halos at R+2 for a soft luminous border around the inner circles

### Time Display
- Stacked HH/MM in Bitham-Black 30 with thin separator line
- Date display (emery) in subtle gray
- 12 gold radial hour ticks with current hour highlighted in white
- Gold minute markers with trailing glow
- Red seconds comet with 6-dot fading trail

### Dynamic Elements
- Breathing central glow: inner light radius oscillates on a 10-second cycle
- Minute bloom: Seed of Life flashes white at each minute mark
- Seconds comet sweeps the outer ring continuously
- Battery-aware outer glow: shrinks organically as battery drains
- Bluetooth disconnect: Seed of Life flashes red

### Color Palettes
- **Night (Crystalline)**: Deep blues radiating to silver-white. Active below -6° sun altitude.
- **Golden (Aureate)**: Warm amber to luminous yellow. Active at dawn/dusk (-6° to 6°).
- **Day (Solar)**: Cool teal radiating to bright cyan-gold. Active above 6° sun altitude.
- Auto-switching based on real-time sun altitude calculation using GPS location
- Manual override via config page

### Configuration
- Show/hide digital time
- Smooth (seconds) or efficient (minutes) update rate
- Color theme: Auto / Night / Golden / Day
