Quick Ring over any app
Quick Ring is a floating ✦ bubble that sits over every app. Tap it, and the ring — a wheel of your apps — is ready over the app you're in, so you can open something without going back to the sky, your home screen. It is off to start, and it needs one permission: the right to draw over other apps.
Quick Ring is free — it is not a Gold feature.
Turn it on
- Open Settings › system.
- Turn on "✦ quick ring — the ring over any app".
- When asked, grant "display over other apps".
The bubble appears and stays on top of whatever you're using. While it runs, a quiet notification reads "Zenith Quick Ring" / "Tap the ✦ bubble to summon the ring", with "summon" and "stop".
Use it
- Tap the bubble. The app behind dims.
- Press anywhere to bloom the ring, slide onto an app, and lift to open it.
- Drag the bubble to move it out of your way.
The ring here is for opening apps only — you can't add or edit stars, and there is no pinch-zoom. Once you open something, or lift on nothing, you return to the app you were in.
Your corners, edges, flicks, double-tap and talismans — shapes you draw to trigger an action — work here too, but only some actions run over another app: shade, lock, recents, quick tiles, screenshot, power menu, back, home, the star index — the A–Z picker for all your apps — and whatever app or shortcut you bound there. Settings, the deep sky (the full list of every app), the veil (the privacy curtain), the Shuttle (the suite's shared tray) and ask the sky (the built-in AI assistant) close the overlay instead.
Turning the toggle off removes the bubble.
