Glass Pebble reimagines photo control with the Glass Ring — a fluid, angle‑based gesture interface inspired by liquid glass. Instead of tapping menus, you drag a translucent Pebble onto the Glass Ring and choose by angle. Each glowing segment is an action you define — keep, favorite, add to a deletion queue, delete now, move to an album, and more. As you move, the ring responds with smooth, tactile feedback that feels alive under your touch. The Glass Ring isn’t just a button — it’s a customizable, segmented canvas that turns angles into actions and makes bulk work deliberate and fast. What you can do • Drag‑to‑act by angle: Move the Pebble into a segment to keep, favorite, queue for deletion, delete now, or add to an album. • Preview before deleting: Review a deletion queue in one place, then batch‑delete when you’re ready. • Make the ring yours: Assign actions to segments, pick icons and colors, and reorder to match your flow. • Unlimited segments (Pro): Add as many Glass Ring segments/actions as you want to build powerful, personal workflows. • Full‑screen viewer with control: Swipe between photos, pinch‑to‑zoom (optional), swipe‑down to dismiss (optional), swipe‑up for info (optional). • Sort and fetch the way you like: New‑to‑old, old‑to‑new, or random; choose how many items to load per batch. • Custom album filters: Build your own photo categories and jump in from the home screen. • iCloud sync (Pro): Keep preferences and ring setup consistent across devices. • On‑device by design: No accounts required. Fast, responsive, and private. Why it’s unique Glass Pebble isn’t another photo manager. It’s a new interaction model that turns simple actions — like deleting or favoriting — into a direct, angle‑driven gesture. With a glowing, glass‑like ring, a draggable Pebble, and a reviewable queue, it makes photo triage both intuitive and beautiful. Notes • Works with your existing photo library. • Permissions are requested only when needed (e.g., Photos access). • Pro unlocks iCloud sync and unlimited Glass Ring segments/actions. --- Terms of Use (EULA): https://glasspebble.conghaowong.com/terms Privacy Policy: https://glasspebble.conghaowong.com/privacy
