Thock 1.2.0

A new look out of the box, and a website: thock.lh3k.dev.

• New defaults for a fresh install: Rainy Purple keycaps in the OEM profile, centred legends in the mono typeface, the 75% layout, and no trackpad beside the keys.
• Lit legends start switched off. Turn them on under Light.
• If you already have Thock, your own settings are kept.

Install or update: download thock.apk on your Android phone and open it. Android 9 or newer. It is signed with the same certificate as 1.1.0, so it updates in place.

This is a debug-signed build and has not been tested on a physical Bluetooth device.

Thock 1.1.0

Thock 1.1.0 adds the new lavender keycap icon and separate lighting controls.

• New app icon for Android, browser shortcuts, and iPhone/iPad home-screen bookmarks.
• Full RGB pickers for shine-through letters and under-key lighting: colour square, presets, RGB channels, and hex entry.
• Separate 0–100% brightness controls for shine-through and under-key lighting, including animated modes.
• Saved colours carry over from the previous hue control.
• Android Bluetooth enable/discoverable actions now explicitly check Nearby Devices permissions.

Install or update: download thock.apk on your Android phone and open it. Android 9 or newer is required. The APK uses the same signing certificate as v1.0.0, so it can update that installation in place.

Validation: 7 automated lighting tests passed; browser checks passed in landscape and rotated phone layouts; the actual web server passed pairing, keyboard-input dry-run, RGB/brightness, persistence, and icon checks. The Android build passed with zero lint errors (7 warnings).

This remains a debug-signed build, as in v1.0.0. The new version has not been tested on a physical Bluetooth device.

Thock 1.0.0

First release of the Android app.

Install: download thock.apk on the phone and open it (Android asks you to allow installing from that source).

Pair: open Thock, allow the Nearby devices permission, tap Make this phone visible, then add the phone from the computer's Bluetooth settings. The computer sees a Bluetooth keyboard and mouse; nothing is installed on it.

Needs Android 9 or newer. A few phone makers leave out the Bluetooth keyboard role; the app says so on its first screen if yours is one.

This is a debug-signed build and has not yet been tested on a real phone.

For iPhone and iPad, use the Wi-Fi version described in the README.
