Premium Theme Marketplace WEBSITE
Buy themes from other designers right on saintstudios.io. Stripe checkout, instant license activation, automatic delivery to your car. Free themes still download as before — paid themes are bound to your specific device for protection.

New account section lists every theme you own. Re-download anytime, transfer a license to a new device (5 transfers per year), and see purchase history at a glance.

Purchased Theme Sync LAUNCHER v3.8.0

Live Music Visualizer LAUNCHER v3.6.0
The music visualizer now captures real audio data from your car's output. Bars react to actual frequencies in your music — bass, mids, and treble. Mirror layout puts bass in the center with treble tapering to the edges. Colors are automatically sampled from album art (up to 10 colors). New properties: bar shape, layout mode (mirror/linear), grow direction (center/bottom/top).

Global Style System BUILDER v6.2.0-beta
Define glow, shadow, stroke, and corner radius once in Theme Settings, then toggle "Use Global Style" on any widget to apply them. Change the global settings and every linked widget updates instantly. All presets now ship with Global Style pre-enabled.

Global Corner Radius BUILDER v6.2.0-beta
New global property: set a corner radius in Theme Settings and all widgets with Global Style enabled inherit it. One slider to unify the rounded corner look across your entire theme.

Blank App Shortcut BUILDER v6.2.0-beta
