1
Launch Celeste
Start Celeste through Everest with Akron enabled.
2
Open Akron
Press
Tab, the default overlay bind. If this bind was changed or conflicts with another mod, configure it in Everest’s mod options.3
Check the status chip
Akron shows the current attempt status: Unclassified, Goldberry/Hardlist clear, Normal clear, or Cheat. Fresh attempts start Unclassified until Akron’s policy hooks record a classification. The status can escalate during an attempt, but it does not downgrade.
4
Try a display option
Enable Visible and Inputs per second in the Labels tab. Close the overlay, press a few inputs, and confirm the input-rate label appears. Rendering Inputs per second changes the attempt status to Normal clear.
5
Clean up the test
Disable Inputs per second and Visible when the check is complete. The current attempt remains Normal clear because attempt status does not downgrade. A death or new level entry starts a new attempt. If Inputs per second remains enabled, rendering it can classify that new attempt again.
First setup
Use the default setup while exploring Akron. Proof helpers and HUD widgets start disabled. Use the overlay to enable only the tools you need. Invoking StartPos restore, warps, frame tools, timescale, and other state-changing tools can change the active attempt status, even when a later runtime prerequisite prevents the action from finishing.What the status means
The status is monotonic for the active attempt. Once a feature escalates the attempt, disabling the feature afterward does not revert the status to its previous level.Next steps
