Bangle.js App Loader Customisation

It's easy to make copies of the Bangle.js App Loader and customise them for your own purposes:

• Your school/university might want a specific set of apps for a class
• Your company might have a specific product
• You might be providing Bangle.js to someone who wants an extremely simplified experience

Forking and Enabling GitHub pages

Follow the tutorial on Adding an app to the Bangle.js App Loader to get a GitHub fork set up with GitHub pages.

Your own App Loader should now be available on https://your_user_name.github.io/BangleApps/

Note: You can host the App Loader yourself, but it must be on an HTTPS server (not HTTP) for Web Bluetooth to work.

Adding and Removing apps

All the information on apps is stored in metadata.json

The simplest form of modification is to just remove these files from apps that you don't want.

• Go to https://github.com/your_user_name/BangleApps
• Click on apps then on the folder of the app you don't want
• Click on the little 'garbage can' icon in the top right
• repeat for any other app you don't want.

Changing Default apps

The list of default apps installed when you click Install default apps is listed in defaultapps_banglejs1.json and defaultapps_banglejs2.json for the given devices.

Simple remove or add app IDs from metadata.json to modify it.

Changing Look and Feel

BangleApps is a standard HTML application, so you can simple edit index.html or the CSS files to change how it looks.
