Full description
Take full control of your Nothing Phone's Essential button. Essential Remapper lets you map the Essential hardware button to any action you want: take screenshots, record your screen, launch apps, toggle your flashlight, control media, and much more. Three gestures (single press, double press, long press) can each trigger a different action, giving you instant access to your most-used shortcuts. Every press is paired with beautiful visual feedback in two styles: one inspired by Nothing's signature aesthetic, one that matches native Android. Fully optimized for every Nothing and CMF Phone with an Essential button. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ WHAT YOU CAN DO ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ • Take a screenshot • Record your screen, with adjustable resolution, frame rate, and optional microphone audio • Open the camera app of your choice, even from the lock screen • Toggle flashlight on/off • Toggle screen rotation lock • Switch between Ring and Vibrate modes • Toggle Do Not Disturb • Trigger voice assistant • Media controls - play/pause, next track, previous track • Launch any installed app • Launch app-specific shortcuts • Launch specific app screens (deep-link to any activity) Plus Camera Shutter mode: while the stock camera is open, the Essential button becomes a shutter button and takes the shot instantly. Works with the lock screen camera too. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ THREE GESTURES, THREE ACTIONS ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ Each gesture can do something different: • Single press - quick tap • Double press - two taps within a configurable window • Long press - hold for a configurable duration Adjust gesture timing precisely to match your preference. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ PREMIUM VISUAL FEEDBACK ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ Two beautiful overlay styles that animate when you press the button: • Nothing style - animated glow on the button edge with Nothing's signature aesthetic • Stock Android style - clean circular icon popup with native Android theming Both adapt to your device orientation, show state-aware icons (flashlight on/off, rotation locked, ringer mode, DND, recording status), and are fully customizable. Pick your own glow color, adjust hold duration, and toggle effects. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ SUPPORTED DEVICES ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ Nothing Phone (3), Phone (3a), Phone (3a) Pro, Phone (3a) Lite Nothing Phone (4a), Phone (4a) Pro CMF Phone 2 Pro The app does not work on phones without the Essential button (Phone 1, Phone 2, Phone 2a, CMF Phone 1). ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ MADE FOR NOTHING'S AESTHETIC ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ • Material 3 design tuned to Nothing's design language • Dark theme with true OLED black • Material You dynamic colors or custom accent ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ PRIVACY-FIRST ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ • No analytics, no tracking, no ads • No data collection, nothing ever leaves your device • All settings stored locally on your device • Screenshots and screen recordings go straight to your phone's gallery and nowhere else • Accessibility Service used only to detect button presses and perform the actions you set up - never to read screen content ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ REQUIRES ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ • A Nothing or CMF phone with the Essential button • Android 13 or newer • One-time guided setup, right from your phone with built-in wireless debugging (no computer needed), or via Shizuku or ADB Backup and restore your settings anytime as a JSON file.
