The official companion app for Starlight Ceiling systems. Connect to your Starlight controller over Bluetooth and take full control of your ceiling — from the brightness of every star to the rhythm of every animation. Designed from the ground up for version 7.0, this app gives you an intuitive, beautiful interface for managing one Starlight or an entire home full of them. CONTROL YOUR STARLIGHT Power your Starlights on and off, adjust brightness, and change animation speed — all from your phone. Media-player-style controls let you play, pause, and skip between light modes with a single tap. BUILT-IN LIGHT MODES Choose from four beautifully crafted preset modes: - Staggered Wave: Stars fade in rolling waves across the ceiling - Synced Breathe: All stars gently pulse together - Steady On: A constant, even glow - Sequential Blink: Stars blink in a cascading sequence Each preset is ready to use the moment you connect. CREATE YOUR OWN MODES Design unlimited custom light modes with the built-in editor. Each Starlight controller has four independent LED channels (Stars 1 through 4), and you can configure each one separately: - Choose from three animation types: Light (constant glow), Blink, or Breath (smooth fade) - Fine-tune brightness, animation speed, phase delay, and wait time per channel - Preview your creation live on your connected Starlight before saving - Save with a custom name, edit anytime, or delete modes you no longer need MULTI-ROOM CONTROL Connect up to five Starlight controllers simultaneously — each one driving up to 30 panels. Give each Starlight a custom name — Bedroom, Living Room, Home Theater — and control them individually or as a group. Toggle between Individual and All modes to manage your entire setup from one screen. The app remembers your Starlights and reconnects automatically. If a controller goes out of range, it picks right back up when you return. SETTINGS AND PERSONALIZATION - Choose System, Dark, or Light theme to match your preference - View connection status for all your Starlights at a glance - Rename, disconnect, or remove saved devices from the detail screen DESIGNED FOR YOUR STARLIGHT This app is purpose-built for Starlight Ceiling hardware sold at starlightceiling.com. It communicates directly with your controller over Bluetooth Low Energy — no cloud account, no login, no data collection. Just you and your ceiling. PRIVACY FIRST Starlight Ceiling does not collect, store, or transmit any personal data. There are no user accounts, no analytics, and no ads. The app requests location permission solely because iOS requires it for Bluetooth device scanning — your location is never read or stored. REQUIREMENTS - One or more Starlight Ceiling systems (sold separately at starlightceiling.com) - iPhone or iPad with Bluetooth Low Energy support - iOS 15.1 or later
