[docs/BUILDING_APPS.md](docs/BUILDING_APPS.md) specifies how to write apps that Gearslip
can render: templated apps, media apps, and the Gearslip app protocol.
## How Gearslip talks to cars
Gearslip is an independent program, written to work with car head units. What it knows of
the protocol comes from public open-source projects such as
[aasdk](https://github.com/opencardev/aasdk) and open-android-auto, and it contains none
of Google's Android Auto code.
Gearslip ships without a certificate. On first launch you choose where yours comes from:
download the one the aasdk project publishes, or import a file of your own. The
certificate stays on your phone. Gearslip never uploads, backs up, or logs it.
