Companion apps and white-label

Companion apps developed together with the firmware, covering EQ, pairing, Auracast and firmware updates, and delivered under your brand.

Modern Bluetooth audio has more settings than a couple of physical buttons can handle. A companion app gives them a proper interface. We develop the app alongside the firmware, so a product leaves the factory with a complete app experience rather than an afterthought.

What the app can do

  • Device dashboard: device information, now-playing status, volume and device preferences in one place.
  • EQ: presets plus fully customizable slots.
  • Codec selection, where the product supports more than one.
  • Pairing management: scan for devices, pair, reconnect, unpair or disconnect, including multipoint products.
  • Auracast setup: set a broadcast name and password on transmitters, and browse and join nearby broadcasts as a broadcast assistant. See Auracast.
  • Button settings, for products whose controls can be remapped.
  • Firmware updates over USB or wirelessly. Firmware is signed and checked before it is installed.

Designed with the firmware

The same team defines both the app and the protocol it uses to talk to the device. Pairing, settings and over-the-air updates are designed as one flow, so they behave the same on every product and every platform: web, Android and iOS.

White-label

Your customers see your brand, not ours.

  • your app name, icon, colors and visual design
  • a feature set chosen for your product line
  • your own privacy policy and store listing

In-house example: Gigawit Control

Gigawit Control is our own companion app for gigawit dongles and transceivers. It runs on the web, Android and iOS, connects over USB or wirelessly, and covers the dashboard, EQ, pairing, Auracast broadcast setup and firmware updates. It needs no account and contains no advertising or third-party analytics. It shows what a white-label app built on the same foundation can do.

What it means for the listener

Settings that are easy to find, pairing that just works, and a product that keeps improving through updates, all in an app that carries the brand they bought.

Frequently asked questions

What can be customized in a white-label app?

The app name, icon, colors and visual design, the feature set and the screens that go with it, the languages, and the legal texts such as the privacy policy. Features come from the same foundation as Gigawit Control; features that need firmware changes are scoped with the product.

Who publishes the app to the App Store and Google Play?

Normally the brand publishes the app under its own developer accounts, so the app and its listing belong to you. We provide the builds and the information the stores ask for, and support you through review. Updates follow the same route.

Which platforms can a white-label app run on?

The same platforms as Gigawit Control: web, Android and iOS. You choose which ones to ship. Whether the app connects over USB, wirelessly or both depends on the product's hardware.
