Native System Apps & Options

Hyper Bridge includes native system island adapters for essential HyperOS and Android platform services: Screen Recording, System Updates, and VPN connections. These system modules have specialized layouts, live timers, progress bars, and custom side display configurations.

You can access and configure each system app directly from the Active Apps list (under the System filter chip) by tapping the gear icon next to the corresponding service.

1. Screen Recording Island

The Screen Recording island provides a sleek live status pill during active screen captures, showing a recording indicator, customizable message, and live elapsed timer.

• Preview: An interactive live preview of how the dynamic island looks while screen capture is active.
• Left Side: Determines what information is displayed on the left of the camera cutout.
• Right Side: Determines what appears on the right side of the camera cutout.
• Auto-hide Island: Controls whether the island auto-hides after recording completes.
  • Completion Checkmark Duration: Adjust how long (e.g. 4s) the completion checkmark remains visible on screen once you stop recording before the island collapses.

3. VPN Island & Global Settings

In addition to Screen Recording and System Updates, HyperOS system services like VPN can be monitored dynamically:

• When a VPN connection starts or establishes a tunnel, the VPN island displays the active status icon and network status.
• You can manage whether system services auto-hide or remain pinned using Global Settings (Settings > Global Settings).
