Assistive Edge

Assistive Edge brings powerful one-handed control to Android with two flexible overlay modes: a swipe-from-edge Sidebar and a floating AssistiveTouch button. Launch apps, run system shortcuts, and access essential tools — without leaving the app you’re using. Choose the experience that fits you: open a full edge panel for multitasking, or keep a compact floating menu always within reach. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ TWO WAYS TO STAY IN CONTROL ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 📱 Edge Sidebar Swipe from the left or right edge to open a floating sidebar over any app. Pin your favorite apps, open quick tools, and navigate your phone with smooth edge gestures — ideal for multitasking and fast app switching. 🎯 AssistiveTouch Use a draggable floating button that stays on screen wherever you place it. Tap to open a customizable radial quick-actions menu with the shortcuts you use most — perfect for one-handed use and instant access to system controls. Switch between Sidebar and AssistiveTouch anytime from the home screen. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ KEY FEATURES ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ EDGE SIDEBAR PANEL • Swipe from the screen edge to open your floating panel • Pin favorite apps for instant launch • Optional visible pill handle for easier access • Works across apps with overlay support • Auto-start on boot (optional) ASSISTIVETOUCH QUICK MENU • Floating button — drag it anywhere on screen • Tap to expand a smooth quick-actions menu • Customize up to 8 action tiles around the center button • Built-in actions: Volume, Screenshot, Flashlight, Lock, Power, Settings, Back, Home, and Recents • Edit your panel layout anytime in settings GESTURES & QUICK CONTROLS • Edge swipe, tap, double-tap, triple-tap, and long-press actions • Notch / camera hole-punch gestures (supported devices) • Edge Seek: slide on the handle to adjust brightness or volume • Screenshot shortcut and system navigation actions • Haptic feedback support BUILT-IN TOOLS • Screenshot • Flashlight and camera shortcuts • Brightness and volume controls • Toggle auto-rotation • Drag apps to split-screen (where supported) • Customizable dashboard tools DEEP CUSTOMIZATION • Material Design 3 with dynamic color (Material You) • Glassmorphic blur effect (Android 12+) • Multiple UI style themes • Custom accent colors, opacity, corner radius, and layout • Icon pack support, icon shape, and scale • Left or right panel placement • Game Mode and fullscreen protection for selected apps SMART BEHAVIOR • Show only on home screen (optional) • Hide overlay in selected apps • Remember scroll position • Export and import settings backup • Home screen shortcut to toggle the service • Quick Settings tile support ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ HOW TO GET STARTED ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 1.
