Frame Control sends anonymous usage statistics: that it was installed and opened, its version,
your operating system, which tabs you use, and whether installs on the Frame worked. Never file names, paths,
addresses or anything you've typed, and it isn't linked to you. You can also share whether Android apps
worked and the details of errors, which helps fix problems faster.
Press Capture to grab what the Frame is showing, or Live to keep it updating.
The headset is showing a blank frame. It's probably asleep or not being worn. Put it on and capture again.

compatibility categories.
Android apps
On the Frame

Each app runs in its own Lepton instance and keeps its data. It's in the Steam
library under its own name and opens in its own panel. Test launches it and records
whether it stays up; Report records how it worked for you.

Reports change the verdicts in the catalogue. Any APK can be
reported, including ones not on F-Droid.

Verdicts come from checks of each APK against what Lepton supports (Android 11,
64-bit ARM, no clipboard or Play Services) and from reports made on a Frame. See docs/apks.md.

Changes apply at once, and the app may redraw or restart its screen. They may not survive the app
relaunching (not yet verified). Sharp gives Android more pixels in the same panel, which should make text crisper.
