I lost / can't find X

Nothing in Zenith is truly gone just because it's off the sky — your home screen. Most "missing" things are one gesture away. Match your case below.

#I can't find an app

Every installed app lives in the deep sky — the full, searchable A–Z list of your apps.

1. Flick up on the sky to open the deep sky.
2. Type into "search the sky" at the bottom.

Or draw a quick circle on the sky to open the star index — the same apps sorted into letter groups. (You can also open it by dragging in from the right edge.)

#A star vanished from my sky

A star is an app, folder, or shortcut you've placed.

• You may be on a different sky. A sky is a whole separate setup with its own stars. Open Settings and, in the skies section at the top, tap another sky's name to switch. (Keeping more than one sky is a Gold feature.)
• The app may still be installed but not placed. Find it in the deep sky (above) and place it again.

#I can't get to Settings

The deep sky can always reach Settings, so no gesture or corner assignment can lock you out.

1. Flick up to open the deep sky.
2. Tap the "zenith settings" row pinned at the top.

#I lost a whole sky, or my setup

If you have a backup file (a .zbak), restore it: open the star chart page in Settings, tap "open…", and pick the file. A backup brings back your stars, settings, talismans, and icons. Without a backup, there's nothing to restore from a server — Zenith keeps data only on your device. See Backup / restore & new-phone data loss.
