Ari Companion pairs your phone with your RealWear smart glasses and gives you a faster way to set them up and keep them working. Connect over Bluetooth, then run the headset from a screen you can actually type on. DEVICE CONTROL Check the battery at a glance. Adjust display brightness and volume, switch the torch on and off, and see which apps are running on the headset. Pair more than one device and switch between them in a tap. NETWORK SETUP Get the headset onto Wi-Fi without typing on the device itself. Pick a network and enter the password from your phone, join a hidden or enterprise network, or share your phone connection as a hotspot when there is no network to join. BLUETOOTH AUDIO Pair Bluetooth headsets with the glasses and see what is already connected, so voice and audio work in loud places. ARI, YOUR AI ASSISTANT Ask Ari for help with messages, contacts, email and everyday tasks. Every conversation is kept, so you can scroll back through your history in the sidebar or search it for something you asked before. TUNE HOW ARI WORKS Ari has its own settings. Choose which services it can reach under Connectors, turn individual Skills on and off, set up Voice, decide what it keeps under Memory, and manage what you share under Privacy. Ari and its settings need an Ari account. MEDIA Browse the photos and videos in your library from your phone. Filter to just photos or just videos, open any of them full screen, and play videos right in the app. Save the ones you want to your phone and remove the ones you do not. DEVICE INFORMATION Look up the serial number, operating system version and firmware before you contact support, and keep an eye on connection status. SUPPORTED DEVICES Realwear Arc 3, Realwear Navigator 500, Realwear Navigator 520 and Realwear Navigator Z1. SIGNING IN You can use Ari Companion without an account. Pairing, Wi-Fi setup, Bluetooth audio and device controls all work signed out. Signing in with your work account adds Ari, the AI assistant and some other features.

Never lose your place again. One tap, and Spotify starts the exact chapter you stopped on. One show is free. Every further show ā archived ones still count ā needs the one-time unlock, no subscription. You need the Spotify app with Premium. How it works: 1. Play an audiobook or audio drama that Spotify stores as an album. 2. Share the current track to Plotkeep via "ā¢ā¢ā¢ ā Share." 3. Later, tap ā¶ in the list ā Spotify starts your saved chapter. ⢠Cover art, title, and your spot at a glance, such as "Part 9 of 25" ⢠One tap back to Spotify, straight to the right chapter ⢠For audiobooks and audio dramas stored as albums in Spotify ⢠Active and archive tabs: swipe finished series into the archive, swipe the other way to delete ⢠Light and dark, follows your system ⢠No account, no sign-up ā your list stays on your device ⢠One show free, unlimited with Pro. One-time purchase, no subscription With Pro, keep several series side by side, each at its own spot. Good to know ⢠Always share the track that is playing. Plotkeep cannot save album, audiobook, playlist, or podcast links. ⢠Every saved show counts, archived ones included. Only deleting frees a slot again. ⢠Without Spotify Premium, Spotify only shuffles albums on mobile ā so an audio drama cannot be heard in order at all. ⢠If Spotify is already running, one tap is enough. If it was closed, the first tap is not reliable ā tap once more and your chapter starts. That is Spotify's behavior, not Plotkeep's. Plotkeep is an independent app and is not affiliated with Spotify AB.
