Quietglass ships nineteen free apps for the Even G2, and its README says eighteen
Quietglass, a suite of free apps for the Even Realities G2 built on the official Even Hub SDK, opens its README with the words "Eighteen apps". Its own German summary of the same document says "19 kostenlose Apps", then breaks that into ten that run straight away and nine that need a server of your own. Both lines were there when the file was read at 21:25 UTC on October 8.

Counting settles it, and the answer is nineteen. The two tables list ten ready-to-use apps and nine self-hosted ones, and the project's own build line reads "2112 tests · 19 builds". Only the English heading says eighteen.
The nineteenth app arrived hours before the reading
A commit timestamped 19:18:36 UTC on October 8 is titled "Add Xaventra HUD app with voice control". Xaventra HUD is the ninth self-hosted entry, a front end for a self-hosted agent, and the project gives it 66 tests.
The English heading is not the only number that commit left behind. The README gives "2112 tests · 19 builds" in one place and "all 2046 tests" in another. Adding up the per-app test counts gives 1,255 across the ten ready-to-use apps and 857 across the nine self-hosted ones, which is exactly 2112, and 2112 minus Xaventra HUD's 66 is 2046. Two stale numbers from one commit, and under two hours between that commit and the read.
What it builds, and what it refuses to build
The apps that need no setup include FlowList, hands-free checklists with branching steps; PostureLens, which warns when your head has stayed forward too long; DecibelGuard, a noise-dose meter; and Cadence, a visual metronome, which exists for a blunt hardware reason the project states outright: "The G2 has no speaker, so the beat is visible." The self-hosted group covers live translation, Home Assistant dashboards, 3D printer status and a film shoot's schedule. Its translation app offers Belarusian, "which the G2's built-in Translate does not offer", and Russian into German.
What is missing is deliberate. "We only build what the G2 does not already do", the README says, and teleprompter, calendar, assistant and map apps were archived "because the glasses ship with Teleprompt, Dashboard, Even AI and Navigate". There is also no shared runtime library between the apps: conventions are copied rather than imported, "so no app can break another". Every app speaks German and English and follows the phone's language.
None of it has run on real glasses
The project says so itself: "Nothing here has been verified on physical G2 hardware yet." Every app is confirmed rendering in Even's own simulator against SDK 0.0.16, which is not the same thing. The privacy claims are the project's own description of its own code, including PostureLens with "no camera, no history" and DecibelGuard computing a level and discarding the audio, and the code is public for anyone who wants to check them. An app that opens the microphone is meant to show an indicator that cannot be hidden, and sample data is labelled DEMO or MOCK on the glasses so it is not mistaken for real.
The useful by-product is a set of notes on the Even Hub SDK read out of its shipped type definitions, including a trap the project calls its most expensive: a tap arrives with no event type field at all, because proto3 omits a field holding its default value and a click event is zero. Decoding that absent field as "unknown" leaves an app receiving events while "silently ignoring every tap".
Even Realities itself has been busy enough with the basics, having required new firmware on both the G2 and the R1 ring for app 2.3.2 at the start of October. Even Hub opened as a public app catalogue in April 2026. Nineteen apps later, the developer has still not put a pair of G2s on.
