The MouthPad^ App’s main controls can be accessed from a small pill-shaped overlay, pictured below. Here, you can view your MouthPad^s status (connected, disconnected), access your settings, or perform quick controls such as Pause or Recalibrate.
The moveable overlay is meant to stay out of your way — but it can also get hidden beneath windows! Ensure it’s being displayed by checking “Show Overlay” is ON in the menu bar.

When the MouthPad^ is connected, you will see the curved lines next to the logo at the top of the pane.

When the MouthPad^ is disconnected, you will see an “X” icon next to the logo.

When the MouthPad^ is paused, the Pause icon will turn yellow.
Under the overlay’s Pause button, you’ll see three more important buttons/actions:
🔄 : Recalibrate your device
👁️: View real-time sensor data
⚙️: Adjust your MouthPad^ Settings
