+# Pattern Launcher
+
+Directly launch apps from the clock screen with custom patterns.
+
+## Usage
+
+Create patterns and link them to apps in the Pattern Launcher app.
+
+Then launch the linked apps directly from the clock screen by simply drawing the desired pattern.
+
+## Screenshots and detailed steps
+
+![](main_menu.png)
+![](add_pattern.png)
+![](select_app.png)
+
+From the main menu you can:
+- Add a new pattern and link it to an app (first entry)
+    - To create a new pattern first select "Add Pattern"
+    - Now draw any pattern you like, this will later launch the linked app from the clock screen
+    - If you don't like the pattern, simply re-draw it. The previous pattern will be discarded.
+    - If you are happy with the pattern tap on screen or press the button to continue
+    - Now select the app you want to launch with the pattern.
+    - Note, you can bind multiple patterns to the same app.
+- Remove linked patterns (second entry)
+    - To remove a pattern first select "Remove Pattern"
+    - You will now see a list of apps that have patterns linked to them
+    - Simply select the app that you want to unlink. This will remove the saved pattern, but not the app itself!
+    - Note, that you can not actually preview the patterns. This makes removing patterns that are linked to the same app annoying. sorry!
+- Disable the lock screen on the clock screen from the settings (third entry)
+    - To launch the app from the pattern on the clock screen the watch must be unlocked.
+    - If this annoys you, you can disable the lock on the clock screen from the setting here
+
+## FAQ
+
+1) Nothing happens when I draw on the clock screen!
+
+Please double-check if you actually have a pattern linked to an app.
+
+2) I have a pattern linked to an app and still nothing happens when I draw on the clock screen!
+
+Make sure the watch is unlocked before you start drawing. If this bothers you, you can permanently disable the watch-lock from within the Pattern Launcher app (via the Settings).
+
+3) I have done all that and still nothing happens!
+
+Please note that drawing on the clock screen will not visually show the pattern you drew. It will start the app as soon as the pattern was recognized - this might take 1 or 2 seconds! If still nothing happens, that might be a bug, sorry!
