Hold2Tap

Hold2Tap makes Android touchscreens easier to use for people with hand tremors or other motor impairments. It helps prevent accidental touches and provides large on-screen buttons for scrolling without having to swipe directly across the display. TOUCH PROTECTION Hold your finger on the screen until you feel a confirmation vibration, then release to perform a tap. Continue holding until the second confirmation to perform a long press. The required hold times can be adjusted to suit your needs, and immediate taps can also be enabled. PRECISE SELECTION An optional precision mode displays a magnifier and target correction controls. This helps you select small buttons, links, and other interface elements more accurately before sending a tap or long press to the app underneath. EASIER SCROLLING Large buttons at the edges of the screen let you scroll up, down, left, or right. You can customize their size, position, and transparency, as well as the length and direction of the generated swipe gestures. The horizontal buttons can be hidden when they are not needed. CUSTOM FEEDBACK Visual and haptic feedback show the progress of each hold action. Their size, duration, and vibration strength can be adjusted independently or turned off. QUICK ACCESS Use the Hold2Tap Quick Settings tile to reactivate the service quickly. The on-screen menu provides direct access to the most important hold-time and operating-mode settings, the complete settings screen, and the offline user guide. KEY FEATURES • Protection against unintended taps • Adjustable tap and long-press timing • Optional magnifier for precise targeting • Large customizable scrolling buttons • Horizontal and vertical swipe controls • Adjustable visual and vibration feedback • Light, dark, and system themes • Multiple accent colors • German and English interface • Offline user guide • Quick Settings tile ACCESSIBILITY SERVICE Hold2Tap uses the Android Accessibility Service API to detect deliberate touch input and interactions with its on-screen controls. After a confirmed action, it can forward a tap, long press, or swipe gesture to the app underneath. It also processes window types and positions to detect the on-screen keyboard and perform scrolling actions. Hold2Tap does not read entered text, passwords, messages, or website content. Touch positions and timing are processed only briefly in memory and discarded after the gesture. App identifiers and touches are not recorded permanently. Personal or sensitive data obtained through the accessibility service is not transmitted to the developer or third parties. You decide whether to enable the Hold2Tap accessibility service in Android Settings, and you can disable it again at any time.
