## What it is
An Android application for writing and editing GLSL shaders with live preview, syntax highlighting, and error highlighting. Shaders can be set as live wallpapers and can access device sensors, battery level, touch input, and custom textures.

## Use cases
- write glsl shaders on my android phone
- use a shader as a live wallpaper
- edit fragment shaders with syntax highlighting on mobile
- experiment with shader uniforms driven by phone sensors
- preview glsl shaders live on android
- create cube maps and import textures for shaders

## When to choose
- you want to write or prototype GLSL shaders directly on an Android device
- you want an animated live wallpaper powered by your own shader
- you want sensor-driven shader input like gyroscope or camera without writing Android code

## When to avoid
- you need a full desktop shader IDE with debugging and profiling tools
- you want to develop shaders for a game engine or desktop OpenGL/Vulkan pipeline
- you need Vulkan or compute shader support

## Facets
- artifact type: application
- maturity: active
- function: editor, graphics, gui
- domain: graphics, android-tools
- platform: -
- tags: glsl, shaders, live-wallpaper, syntax-highlighting, opengl, game-development, android, mobile
