Windows portable
Ubuntu and derivatives
MacOS- View any composition - an audio file with light data embeded in the metadata - on your desktop, on your OS of choice (Windows, Linux, MacOS)
- Render the composition to a mp4 video file and share it with your friends (ffmpeg required)
- Plays compositions from all current Nothing devices
- Nothing Phone (1)
- Nothing Phone (2)
- Nothing Phone (2a) / Nothing Phone (2a) Plus
- Nothing Phone (3a) / Nothing Phone (3a) Pro
Important
This is not a composition generator! It is a viewer - like a photo viewer. It does not create images, it just displays them.
Tip
This is a tool that is meant to be used in combination with my custom-nothing-glyph-tools scripts (GlyphTranslator, GlyphModder). When you create a custom ringtone or notification tone with these scripts, you want to test them as often as possible. You can use this tool to visualize your composition and rapidly iterate on it - no file transfer to your phone is needed.

Only the composition itself is needed:
- Open GlyphVisualizer
- Drag and drop your composition 👀
- Done 🎉
- Download the latest portable version (
GlyphVisualizer-*_windows-x64-portable.zip) from the latest release. - (Optional) Verify file integrity by executing this in PowerShell:
CertUtil -hashfile GlyphVisualizer_windows-x64.zip SHA256. Compare that output with theGlyphVisualizer-*_windows-x64-portable.zip.sha256.txtsha256 hash file. If they match, you are good. - Extract the zip file
- Install
vc_redist.x64.exewhich is inside the zip - Run
GlyphVisualizer.exe
- Download the latest version (
GlyphVisualizer-*_linux-ubuntu-x64.AppImage) from the latest release. - (Optional) Verify file integrity by downloading
GlyphVisualizer-*_linux-ubuntu-x64.AppImage.sha256to the same directory as the AppImage and runningshasum -a 256 -c ./GlyphVisualizer-*_linux-ubuntu-x64.AppImage.sha256. If it outputs 'OK', you are good. - Install dependencies for AppImages:
sudo apt install -y libfuse2* - Make the AppImage executable:
chmod +x ./GlyphVisualizer-*_linux-ubuntu-x64.AppImage - Run the AppImage - you can use AppImageLauncher to update and integrate the application into your dekstop environment.
- Download the latest version (
GlyphVisualizer-*_macOS-13-x64.dmg) from the latest release. - (Optional) Verify file integrity by downloading
GlyphVisualizer-*_macOS-13-x64.dmg.sha256to the same directory as the disk image file and runningshasum -a 256 -c ./GlyphVisualizer-*_macOS-13-x64.dmg.sha256. If it outputs 'OK', you are good. - Run the application

You can find the full roadmap here.
You can use the Qt Online Installer to install Qt, Ninja, CMake and a C++ compiler
- Qt 6.6.0 or higher - currently using v6.8.2
- Ninja
- CMake
- A compiler like g++ or MSVC depending on your OS
- TagLib 2.0 or higher - currently using v2.0.2
- git
Clone the repo
git clone https://github.com/SebiAi/GlyphVisualizer.git
cd GlyphVisualizerSet DCMAKE_PREFIX_PATH to the Qt location and build the application (This command assumes that the libraries like TagLib are properly installed and can be found by CMake)
You can get started quickly by just downloading the Buildtools for Visual Studio and selecting the Desktop development with C++ workload in the installer.
Important
This code assumes that you used vcpkg to install the dependencies for taglib and that the VCPKG_ROOT environment variable is set correctly. See the workflow file for windows on how to install these and how to properly build taglib.
Warning
Set CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH to the location where your Qt installation is located!
set "CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH=%USERPROFILE%\Qt\QTVERSION\PLATFORM"
set "PATH=%CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH%\bin;%PATH%"
set "CMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE=%VCPKG_ROOT%\scripts\buildsystems\vcpkg.cmake"
devscripts\clean-build.bat
devscripts\make-portable.batThe zip file build\GlyphVisualizer-*_windows-x64-portable.zip contains the portable windows build.
Note
I would recommend to use docker for the build process because it is repeatable and no dependencies need to be installed to the system.
If you don't want that you can use the similar named scripts without docker instead. Then make sure that taglib and Qt (CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH="/path/to/Qt/QTVERSION/PLATFORM") can be found and that you can execute AppImages (apt install libfuse2 libxcb-cursor0).
./devscripts/clean-build-with-docker.sh && ./devscripts/make-appimage-with-docker.shThe AppImage build/GlyphVisualizer-*_linux-ubuntu-x64.AppImage is the final result.
Warning
Set CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH to the location where your Qt installation is located!
CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH="/path/to/Qt/QTVERSION/PLATFORM"
PATH="${CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH}/bin:${PATH}"
./devscripts/clean-build.sh
./devscripts/make-dmg.shThe disk image file build/GlyphVisualizer-*_macOS-13-x64.dmg is the final result.

If you get the error popup above, you need to install the Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable, which is shipped alongside GlyphVisualizer. Please execute vc_redist.x64.exe to install it.
Important
This also applies if the missing dll is one of the following:
- MSVCP140.dll
- VCRUNTIME140_1.dll
- VCRUNTIME140.dll
