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.
