+There are basically 3 types of applications : **system** apps and **user** apps and **watchfaces**.
 
 **System** applications are always built into InfiniTime, and InfiniTime cannot work properly without those apps.
 The watchfaces, settings, notifications and the application launcher are examples of such system applications.
 
 **User** applications are optionally built into the firmware. They extend the functionalities of the system.

+Similarly, the list of watchfaces is also generated by CMake, so you need to add the variable `ENABLE_WATCHFACES` to the command line of CMake. It must be set with the list of watchfaces that will be built into the firmware.

+Ex: build the firmware with 3 watchfaces : Analog, PineTimeStyle and Infineat:

 You should now be able to [build](../buildAndProgram.md) the firmware
 and flash it to your PineTime. Yay!
