The big one: a new look, a new library, and every fix
Three updates that were queued separately ended up shipping together, so this release changes how CosNFX looks, what it sounds like, and how it behaves on day one. Everything you have set up carries over.
- Your buttons take the shape of your character. On the watch ring, each of the seven pads is drawn in the silhouette of the identity wearing it — a shield, a claw, a crescent, a bolt — so the ring tells you who you are before you read a word. The numbers 1–7 stay exactly where they were.
- Mission Control is rebuilt around the Stage. Your buttons appear as a live ring in the browser: tap a pad to set its gesture, sound, and effect; the pads flash as you perform; tap the centre to arm. Four zones — Stage, Show, Library, System — hold everything else, in place of the old row of tabs.
- Finding a sound is finally quick. A searchable browser with kit filters replaces the long dropdowns, and Test on watch plays the sound through the watch speaker before you commit to it — so you hear it where it will actually fire.
- The phone companion reaches 1.0. Same four zones, same shaped-pad ring, and it flashes live as you perform. It also draws far more efficiently than before, which is easier on your battery.
- A free Halloween pack: three cinematic kits. Haunted Manor (dragging chains, a door that opens by itself, a midnight bell), Banshee (an all-vocal ghost — whisper-screams, guttural moans, a full banshee wail), and Witching Hour (bone snaps, a raven that answers your beckon, a full-moon wolf howl, a real witch's sneer). Built from licensed cinematic recordings plus a few designed sounds, covering all seven gesture roles — free for everyone, in time for haunt season.
- A leaner library. The early placeholder sounds from the beta era retire (about 140 files), which makes the app a noticeably smaller download. Every one of the 210 curated kit sounds stays.
- Your setup is protected. The update remaps profiles automatically. If a gesture was pointing at a retiring sound, it falls back to that identity's default kit sound — open Mission Control or the phone app and pick a new one whenever you like. Anything you uploaded yourself stays exactly where you put it, along with your custom gestures, combos, and calibrations.
- Your sound kits play from the very first gesture. Fresh installs used to spend their first session on placeholder tones while the real library finished loading. Now the kits land the moment they're ready.
- Strike and Raise are on out of the box, and both read the same on either wrist, so a brand-new install has working gestures before any setup.
- Clearer Pro messages. When a Pro feature is locked, the app says so — and points you at the phone app, where one purchase covers watch and phone on the same Google account.
- Pairing works in every language. The Mission Control PIN always displays digits your browser keypad can type, whatever language your watch is set to.
- Sound survives Bluetooth shuffles. If the audio route changes mid-session, the engine rebuilds itself instead of going quiet. A reconnect loop that could nibble battery when a second device tried to link is gone, along with a stack of smaller hardening under the hood.
