1. A method, comprising:

  • at a wearable computing device with a touch screen display and a plurality of applications;

    displaying a first application in the plurality of applications on the display, without displaying any other applications in the plurality of applications besides the first application;

    detecting activation of a zoom control;

    in response to detecting activation of the zoom control, displaying an animation that transitions from displaying the first application in the plurality of applications on the display, without displaying any other applications in the plurality of applications, to displaying a first group of application tiles, wherein;

    the plurality of applications has a corresponding plurality of application tiles;

    each application tile in the plurality of application tiles corresponds to a single application in the plurality of applications;

    application tiles in the plurality of application tiles are arranged in a two-dimensional array;

    the first group of application tiles is a subset of the plurality of application tiles;

    activation of a respective application tile in the plurality of application tiles causes an application that corresponds to the respective application tile to be displayed on the display, without displaying any other applications in the plurality of applications; and

    at least one application tile in the plurality of application tiles displays an indication of a current state of a corresponding application;

    while displaying the first group of application tiles, detecting a single finger drag across the touch screen display;

    in response to detecting the single finger drag across the touch screen display while displaying the first group of application tiles, panning to display a second group of application tiles in the plurality of application tiles, distinct from the first group of application tiles;

    detecting activation of a second zoom control;

    in response to detecting activation of the second zoom control, displaying all of the plurality of application tiles in the two-dimensional array including a center-most cluster of application tiles at a center of the two-dimensional array;

    while displaying all of the plurality of application tiles, detecting activation of a button configured to display the center-most cluster in the two-dimensional array; and

    ,in response to detecting activation of the button configured to display the center-most cluster in the two-dimensional array, displaying the center-most cluster of application tiles in the two-dimensional array, wherein;

    displaying the center-most cluster of application tiles displays less than all of the plurality of application tiles, andmultiple application tiles in the center-most cluster of application tiles are user configurable.
