Only seeing your wallpaper and the top menu bar, not your windows? Your computer needs Screen Recording permission: System Settings ▸ Privacy & Security ▸ Screen Recording ▸ turn on Terminal (or Python), then quit & reopen it. If you installed a while ago, re-run the one-line installer at farglance.com/download to update.
Your glasses code
Sign in at farglance.com, then enter the code shown under your account. That’s the only thing you set — it signs these glasses in and connects your computer automatically.
Or sign in with email
Prefer to type it here? Enter your Farglance email and password. (Linking on your phone or laptop above is easier, but this works too.) Once you’re in, everything you’ve already connected shows up on these glasses automatically.
Advanced connection (rarely needed)
Your computer
Most people never need this — installing Farglance on your computer connects it automatically. Only fill this in if you\u2019re told to.
Away from home
Reach your computer from anywhere. Normally automatic once Farglance is installed on it — only used if you\u2019re told to.

Buzz me about this
Farglance taps your wrist and brings the card to the front.
