App Manager Overview

The App Manager is the administrative center of your Heisenware account. It is used to initialize new projects, monitor account usage, and manage your development team.

The total number of apps that you can create depends on your plan. Contact usenvelope if you require additional apps for your plan.

App Settings

  • Name: The visible title on desktops, home screens, and browser tabs. Keep this under 10 characters for the best mobile display.

  • Description: Optional internal notes. These are not visible to end-users.

  • Icon: The logo used for the favicon and home screen icon. Works best if you use a square image. Leave padding around the logo, as mobile devices often apply a circular cutout.

  • Language (Beta): Heisenware can automatically translate your app using AI. Supported reference languages include English, German, French, Turkish, Italian, and Spanish. Contact usenvelope for access to this feature.

App Status & Control

Each app card displays its current availability:

  • RUNNING: The app is live and reachable via its URL.

  • EXITED: The app has been manually stopped.

  • CREATED: The app container exists but has never been deployed.

  • UNAVAILABLE: An error has occurred. Try to redeploy.

Delete an App

Click the red Delete App button to remove an application. This action is irreversible. Always save a versioning tag (.hwt file) from the App Builder before deleting if you wish to preserve your work.

Distribution

Apps are distributed via a unique URL or a QR code. Both are found directly on the app card in the Apps panel.

Maintenance

To take an app offline, use the Action Switch on the card to toggle between Run and Stop.

Dashboard

The Dashboard panel provides a real-time summary of your account's performance including usage stats like total app views and unique users across all applications.
