Dune Weaver turns your phone into a full remote for your kinetic sand table running Dune Weaver Firmware. It talks directly to the table over your Wi-Fi — no cloud, no account, and no separate server to keep running. Nothing leaves your network. BROWSE & RUN - Explore a library of around 1000 patterns and run any of them with a tap. - Optional pre-run clear: adaptive, from the center, from the perimeter, or sideways. YOUR OWN PATTERNS - Import your own .thr files at full resolution and push them straight to the table's SD card. - 100 built-in patterns ship with preview thumbnails; imported patterns get previews generated right on your device. PLAYLISTS - Create, edit, reorder, loop and shuffle playlists. - Pause between patterns, clear, and auto-home options. FULL CONTROL - Home, stop, pause and resume, and adjust speed. - Live status with a polar progress trace and real-time ball position. LED RING - Effect, palette and color pickers, brightness and speed. - Run and idle overrides plus a ball-tracker effect, driven by the table's on-board LED ring. MORE - Quiet hours ("Still Sands") to pause overnight. - Auto-play on boot, multi-table support with a quick switcher, custom name and logo, and light or dark themes. The phone and table must be on the same Wi-Fi network. Dune Weaver is open source (GPL-3.0). ## Version history (last 5 releases) ### 1.1.2 — 2026-08-21 • Support for tables with the new ESP32-S3 board — firmware updates pick the right update file for your board automatically, and the app asks which board you have when the table can’t say • Beta firmware is now hidden from the version picker unless you turn on “Show beta versions” — the build on your table is always listed either way • The version picker now badges the installed build correctly, so a table on a beta build can install its final release • The LED screen shows what your lights are really doing — when quiet hours or a saved “while playing / while idle” effect is overriding your choice, it says so and explains how to get control back • Saving “Off” as a playing or idle effect is now clearly called out, so LEDs that stay dark are no longer a mystery ### 1.1.1 — 2026-08-06 • Pause the table to change its settings — no more waiting out a whole playlist (needs Dune Weaver Firmware v0.1.18 or newer) • Renaming a table in the app now renames it on your network too, so it shows up under the name you picked (needs Dune Weaver Firmware v0.1.18 or newer) • Read what changed — release notes for both the app and your table’s firmware, right in Settings • Patterns with no thumbnail are now flagged in Browse, with a tap through to sync previews from your table • Load a table’s pattern list from a file when Wi-Fi is weak, instead of waiting on the table • Tap the speed to type an exact value • A long list of pattern folders now scrolls inside the filter sheet ### 1.1.0 — 2026-07-21 A big update with lots of polish: • Between patterns, the app clearly shows the table is waiting — with the pattern that’s on the sand and a live countdown to the next one • Install any firmware version right from the app, not just the latest • Motion-reactive LEDs: set the look you want, then “Save current” for playing or idle; brightness now shows as a percentage • Playlist options — shuffle, repeat, and time between patterns — are remembered per table • Table settings lock while a pattern is running, so changes don’t fail silently • More reliable connection to busy tables, timestamped table logs, and a smoother “copy playlist to another table” • Sliders no longer scroll the page while you adjust them, and long times now show hours ### 1.0.8 — 2026-07-18 • A whole new look — a warm, sand-and-basalt design inspired by the table itself, in both dark and light modes • Favorites — tap the heart on any pattern, then filter to your favorites from the new dropdown next to search • New expanded player — watch progress sweep around your pattern on a glowing disc • New display and telemetry typefaces throughout ### 1.0.7 — 2026-07-15 • Fixed: pausing a pattern now lets you resume it — the play button reliably picks the pattern back up • Switching between tables is snappier — a table that's slow to respond no longer holds up the one you switched to • Bigger, easier-to-tap controls for playlist settings, LED colors, and pattern filters • Faster startup — your table's patterns and playlists appear instantly from a saved copy, then refresh with a pull-down • More reliable connection to your table, especially right after you open the app or when it's busy with a pattern ## Related topics [dune ball](https://appshunter.io/ios/topics/dune-ball) --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
