Custom Applets are planned for launch. They remain limited to four local slots and a small set of built-in capabilities. App Review notes describe the explicit user action, inspectable source, bounded host capabilities, and absence of remote applet packages without claiming prior Apple approval. A selected cloud provider receives the request, relevant source/context, and recent conversation only after Generate.

06 // Connection

Built around the iPhone

CyberHUD needs an iPhone, cable, and AR Glasses combination that can show external-display video over USB-C.

Connection

USB-C video output

The glasses operate as an external display while the iPhone runs CyberHUD.

Core controls

No glasses tracking required

The core experience does not require glasses cameras, motion sensors, head tracking, eye tracking, spatial anchors, or high refresh rates.

Optional 3D

Side-by-side stays optional

The current plan keeps the core experience free and ad-free, with an optional one-time CyberHUD Pro purchase planned for 3D side-by-side display. Pricing and availability are not final.
