Support & FAQ

01. How do I calibrate the ring around my front camera?

Pinhole Notify automatically detects your camera cutout using advanced hardware vector pathing (Android 12+) and applies top-edge status bar compensation out of the box. If you still need to make manual tweaks:

1. Open Pinhole Notify and tap the ⚙️ Settings icon.
2. Turn on Test Mode to continuously display a high-visibility Concentric Bullseye Target (with axis ticks, concentric rings, and crosshairs) around your camera.
3. Adjust the Horizontal Position (X) and Vertical Position (Y) sliders to align the bullseye. The sliders feature magnetic snapping back to zero (Center) when dragged close, or you can tap the value badge to reset.
4. Adjust the Ring Size and Stroke Thickness sliders to fit the ring diameter. The size slider also snaps to "Auto" (zero offset).
5. Turn off Test Mode when you are satisfied!

03. How does the App Galaxy UI work?

04. Does Pinhole Notify support foldables like the Pixel Pro Fold?

Yes! Pinhole Notify was engineered with foldable devices (including the Google Pixel Fold / Pixel 9 Pro Fold series) in mind. It uses the Android Jetpack WindowManager library to track posture and screen transitions seamlessly.

05. How can I support development?
