# App Info

> Access app metadata through special values.

**App Info** provides special values that let you use information about your app throughout the project. **Device Info** provides special values about the end user's device. These values automatically update to reflect changes in your app's metadata.

You can use **App or Device Info** special values in [Components](/docs/essentials/components), [Computed Columns](/docs/automation/computed-columns), and [Actions](/docs/getting-started/introduction-to-actions) where special values can be used.

When configuring, you can use these special values:

* **App Title**: The name of your app
* **App Description**: The description of your app
* **App Icon URL**: The URL of your app's icon
* **App URL**: The URL where users can access your app
* **Screen size:** The size of the user's screen. `Small` for mobile and `large` for desktop.

## Configuring App and Device Info in the Layout Editor

#### App Info - Arcade 1

Add the component you want, or select an existing one. In the [Layout Editor](https://www.glideapps.com/docs/getting-started/intro-to-layout), you can use App Info special values in:

* Components that directly support special values
* Components with actions that accept special values

If using a component that directly supports special values, select the **App Info **special values from the dropdown in the relevant field.

If using an action, configure the action settings and link the columns where you want to save the values when the action is triggered.

Complete any other required configuration settings.
