Home⚓︎

Home is the first tab in the app and the place to pick up where you left off. The title greets you by name (Hey, <name>), and you can pull down to refresh it.

Tip: Tap your avatar in the top-right corner of any tab to open your Profile, where you'll also find Need Help?.

Getting started checklist⚓︎

Until you've started your first prompt, Home shows a setup checklist instead of the usual sections.

First, choose what you're setting up under Get started — Which device would you like to set up?:

  • Illumifun — just your phone and a USB-C to HDMI cable. See illumiFun.
  • Illumibot — the all-in-one device, built for always-on projection mapping.

Home for a new account: No subscription and Get started Tutorials list with search and categories

You can change your choice later with Switch device. Then follow the numbered steps:

Illumibot illumiFun
1. Connect your illumibot — pair it over your network, or scan its QR code 1. Watch the setup video (optional)
2. Add a photo — shoot the surface from beside the lens 2. Connect illumiFun
3. Create a mask — paint the region the projection should fill 3. Guided setup — photo, alignment and masking, done for you
4. Start prompting — design a scene with AI 4. Start prompting

If you plug in illumiFun before it's set up, Home shows the illumiFun checklist again, even if you've finished setting up before. Switch device is hidden until you finish illumiFun setup or unplug.

The No subscription and Tokens left cards (see below) can also appear above the checklist, and Tutorials below it.

Why can I only see Home and Point?

The Prompt, Play and Explore tabs appear once at least one of your locations has both a photo and a mask. After that, if the checklist still isn't finished, a Finish setting up banner on those tabs takes you back to it. Tap the X to close the banner.

What's on Home⚓︎

Once you're set up, Home shows these sections, top to bottom. A section only appears when it has something in it.

Home tab: Needs attention, Recent creations and Popular this week Home tab scrolled down to Popular this week and Tutorials

  • No subscription — shown if you don't have a plan yet. Tap Subscribe to pick one. See Subscriptions & Tokens.
  • Tokens left — shows <N> tokens left and roughly how many generations that covers (for example, About 2 more generations), with a Top up button. It appears when you have between 1 and 299 tokens, and only if you've bought tokens before. Below 100 tokens it says Less than 1 generation left.
  • Needs attention — devices that have an Update ready (downloaded and waiting; tap to approve the install), an Update available (tap to open the firmware update page), or Illumibots that are Offline (tap to open the device).
  • Now projecting — every device that is playing something right now. Tap one to open it. A device is only listed when its HDMI power check setting is on and the projector reports as on.
  • Announcements — news from the Illumibot team, such as new features, maintenance windows and events. Tap one to read it.
  • Scheduled shows — the shows your Illumibots are set to play. This list comes from the Illumibots themselves, so Illumibots that are offline or on older firmware are left out. Paused shows are dimmed and marked Paused. Tap the (i) button for details.
  • Recent creations — your latest finished creations. See all opens your gallery.
  • Popular this week — the most-favorited community posts from the last 7 days. See all opens the Explore tab.
  • Tutorials — short how-to videos. Ones you haven't watched come first; watched ones get a green check. Tap one to play it, or See all to browse every tutorial. This section also shows while you're still on the setup checklist.

What's New⚓︎

After an app update, a What's New page may open once to highlight the changes. You can open it any time from Profile → What's New. See What's New.
