Even Hub Apps: How to Install G2 Plugins, the Best Ones and What's Missing

You set up your Even Realities G2, tried Conversate and Teleprompt, and now you want more. That's what Even Hub is for. Even Hub is the plugin store inside the Even Realities app, and Even Hub apps add things the glasses don't do out of the box: an ebook reader, a Pomodoro timer, Spotify controls, subway times, chess you play with the R1 ring.

This guide is current as of November 2026: how to install plugins, what's already built in, the apps worth trying first, how developers get through review and what the store still lacks.

What is Even Hub?

Even Hub opened on April 3, 2026, with version 2.1.1 of the Even Realities app, which called it "the new plug-in gallery for Even G2." At launch it had around 50 apps and plug-ins, and Even said more than 2,000 developers were building for it (Digital Trends). In October, app version 2.3.2 brought a redesigned Discovery page to make plugins easier to find.

Two things are worth knowing before you browse:

Plugins run on your phone, not on the glasses. Each one is a small web app inside the Even Realities app. The G2 shows its text on the green display and sends back your taps and swipes from the temples or the R1 ring. Your phone can stay in your pocket.

The G2 has no camera and no speaker. Everything an app does reaches you as text or a simple image in the lens.

How to install Even Hub apps on Even Realities G2

Update first. Update the Even Realities app and the firmware on the glasses and the ring. Recent app versions, like 2.3.2, need the latest firmware on both the G2 and the R1.

Open the Even Hub tab in the bottom bar of the Even Realities app.

Tap an app card to open its detail page, then tap Install. It takes a few seconds.

Start it from the glasses. Installed plugins show up in the menu on the glasses, and you open them with a tap on the temple or the ring. In the app you can choose which plugins appear in that menu.

To remove a plugin, press and hold it on the home page of the app.

Even Realities G2 apps download: store vs GitHub

GitHub has a long list of G2 projects (the community list awesome-even-realities-g2 collects many), but not all of them are in Even Hub. Running one that isn't takes developer mode, a computer serving the app on the same Wi-Fi and a QR code scan. That path is for building and testing, and Even's docs note that QR-sideloaded apps stop when the phone locks. For daily use, install from the store.

Built-in G2 features: check these before you install anything

Many of the most useful things on the G2 aren't in Even Hub, because Even ships them with the glasses. The Even Realities app listing names them:

Conversate: live captions of a conversation, AI Cues with context and suggestions, Prep Notes with documents you add beforehand and an AI summary afterward.

Teleprompt: your script scrolls with your speaking pace, or you scroll it with the ring.

Translate: live subtitles in your language, 35 languages according to Even.

Navigate: turn-by-turn directions at the edge of your view.

Dashboard: widgets such as headlines and health data.

Notifications: filtered alerts from your phone.

Even AI: say "Hey, Even" to ask questions and start features.

Reminders and QuickNote: tasks and notes on the glasses. Reminders was called QuickList until app 2.3.2.

Health: activity data from the R1 ring.

Terminal Mode: shows what an AI coding agent on your laptop is doing and lets you approve its next step with a tap.

App 2.4.0 (October 27) added two betas: Knowledge Base, built from Conversate records and files you choose, and Conversate Pro Mode, with smarter AI Cues.

A good test before you install: does the plugin do something the glasses can't? One free community suite archived its own teleprompter, calendar, assistant and map apps for exactly that reason.

The best Even Realities G2 apps to try first

Even doesn't publish rankings, and the catalog keeps changing. These are apps Even featured at launch (AndroidGuys lists the lineup) or that reviewers mention, sorted by what they're good for. Check the Discovery page for each one's current version.

Reading: Epub Reader. Long-form text from ebooks, right in the lens.

Focus: Pomodoro Timer. 25 minutes of work, 5 of rest, with the time left in view so you don't reach for your phone.

Music: Display Plus. Spotify controls on the glasses.

Commuting: SubwayLens. Real-time New York City subway data.

Driving: the Tesla integration. Vehicle data such as battery level and cabin temperature.

Markets: ER Market. Live stock tickers and charts.

Calm: Stillness. Guided breathing exercises.

Games: Chess. You select and move pieces with the R1 ring.

Even Realities G2 app development: how a plugin gets into Even Hub

An Even Hub plugin is a normal web app (HTML, CSS and JavaScript or TypeScript, any framework) that talks to the glasses through Even's SDK. The tools are free on npm:

The evenhub CLI creates the manifest, makes QR codes for testing, packs the app into an .ehpk file and uploads it.

The simulator (evenhub-simulator) shows the 576x288 green canvas on your computer, takes clicks and swipes and can use your computer's microphone. It runs on Windows, macOS and Linux.

Official templates for a minimal app, a text-heavy app, speech input and images.

Developer mode has no switch. You sign in at hub.evenrealities.com with your Even account, force-quit the phone app and reopen it, and a developer section with a Scan QR button appears at the top right of the Even Hub tab (Even's setup guide).

From there an app goes through three test stages: a QR sideload with live reload, a private build only you can install and a beta for testers you invite by email. Then you submit it in the developer portal.

How Even Hub review works

Review is manual. A reviewer installs your build like a beta tester and checks it against a published list (App Submission and QA Guidelines). Among the points:

The app keeps working with the phone locked and the Even app in the background.

No black screen on first launch, and setup steps are explained on the glasses and remembered.

A double tap on the main screen opens the system exit dialog.

The privacy policy covers every permission the app asks for.

No API keys inside the package.

The name has 20 characters at most and can't contain "Even".

Even doesn't publish how long review takes. Publishing is permanent: there's no rollback, so a fix means a new version. Every published version is visible worldwide, with no country targeting.

Is there an Even Realities G2 desktop app?

Not for everyday use. The Even Realities app on your iPhone or Android phone runs everything, including plugins. On a computer you get developer tools: the simulator, and Terminal Mode, which connects coding agents such as Claude Code and Codex on your laptop to the glasses.

What Even Hub still lacks

No paid apps. Even's developer FAQ says it plainly: "No paid distribution yet." Developers can't sell plugins in the store.

Only plugins. Even lists dashboard widgets, dashboard layouts and AI skills as coming, but plugins are the only kind of app that's live.

Foreground only. A plugin works while it's open on the glasses. It can't run there in the background or push notifications.

No audio out. Without a speaker, apps can't talk to you.

Conversate or a specialized app for interviews and meetings?

Conversate is the strongest built-in feature for conversations, and for many people it's enough: live captions, AI Cues, answers from material you add as Prep Notes and a summary afterward. It comes with the glasses, and Even advertises "No subscriptions." Try it first.

A specialized plugin makes sense when you need one job done well. That's the idea behind Hinty Voice Assistant: it waits for the moment someone asks you a question in a job interview or a meeting and gives you a short suggested answer, built from your own resume and notes.

Coming to Even Hub: Hinty Voice Assistant

Hinty Voice Assistant already works in Google Meet, Zoom and Teams through the Chrome extension, in the web app and in the phone app. One to two seconds after someone asks you a question, it shows a short suggested answer, also using your own documents like a resume, notes or PDFs.

With smart glasses, the flow looks like this:

Your phone listens. Microphones in glasses focus on the wearer, so the phone on the table hears both you and the other person.

Hinty spots the question for you and prepares a hint.

The G2 shows it as text in the lens, in two short lines. The G2 has no speaker, so on these glasses the hint is text only.

We've built a Hinty plugin for Even Hub. It still has to pass Even's review, so it isn't in Even Hub yet, and we don't have a date. Smart glasses support is in testing: testers get it first, and testing is free. You can sign up on our smart glasses page.

If you use a live assistant in a conversation, tell the other person. In some countries and US states, everyone in the conversation has to agree.

Hinty is not affiliated with or endorsed by Even Realities.
