Reaching out — Shuttle & Zenith apps

How-to

The shared tray for passing items between Zenith apps.

Your launcher can hand things out to the rest of the suite. The shuttle — the suite's shared tray for passing things between Zenith apps — is the main road; the launcher also gives its sibling apps a place of their own in your app list.

Use the Shuttle

The shuttle is a shared drop list, not a clipboard: items stay until you remove them, and any Zenith app can drop something in or pick it up.

  1. Open the shuttle — tap a shuttle star (an item you've placed on your sky — your home screen), or a gesture or talisman — a drawn-shape shortcut — you've bound to it.
  2. Tap an item to use it. A link or reference opens where it lives; plain text is copied to your clipboard.
  3. Tap "−" to remove an item. Nothing else takes it off the list.

To place a shuttle drop on your sky — your home screen — as a star, add it from the add screen's shuttle section instead of tapping it here.

Add a corner button for the Shuttle

If you use the shuttle often, put a button beside the Ask button in the top corner of your sky.

  1. Open Settings › system.
  2. Turn on "show 🚀 shuttle corner button".
  3. Leave "↳ always on" off to show it only while a ring is open, or turn it on to keep it there always.

Send content to a Zenith app

From the share sheet (when you share something to Zenith), a "send to <app>" row appears for each sibling app that can take the content — handing it straight across. See Reaching in — share, pins & Quick Ring.

Find sibling apps in your app list

The launcher gives Zenith's own apps a spot in deep sky — the full A–Z list of every app. Choose how in Settings › regions & star index, under "zenith apps in deep sky":

  • "first entries" — Zenith's apps sit at the top of the list. (The default.)
  • "icon row" — they appear as a row of tappable icons up top.
  • "off" — no special spot; they sit in the list like any app.

The add screen also gathers every Zenith app and widget under its "zenith specialties" section.

Applies to these Zenith apps: _Placeholder — filled during cross-guide reconciliation._
