Bottom notifications

Full description can be found here: https://github.com/vdb86/Bottom-notifications

Reach your notifications with your thumb, not a stretch.

Bottom notifications puts a notification shade at the BOTTOM of your screen, where your hand already is. Tap the floating button or swipe in from the screen edge and your notifications slide up - easy to read, easy to reach, and easy to make your own.

YOUR PRIVACY COMES FIRST

- Your notifications never leave your device. The app never sends them anywhere.

- No ads. No trackers. No analytics. No account.

It needs notification access and permission to display over other apps. Everything else, including the Accessibility Service below, is optional - you are always in control.

HOW THIS APP USES THE ACCESSIBILITY SERVICE

Bottom notifications includes an optional Accessibility Service. It is OFF by default; every other feature works fully without it. Turned on, it powers three things:

- Keyboard awareness: it detects when the on-screen keyboard is showing and where it sits, so the button, the edge strips and the animal move out of the way while you type.

- Navigation gestures: it performs Back, Home, and Recent-apps actions when you assign one to a gesture.

- Rule actions: Android allows rules to press a notification's own buttons, open it, or reply only while it is on. It taps nothing and reads nothing extra.

It checks only whether the keyboard is showing and where. It does NOT read, log, record, collect, or transmit the content of your screen, your keystrokes, or any personal data, and nothing it observes ever leaves your device. You can turn it off at any time in Android's Accessibility settings.

A NOTIFICATION MANAGER, NOT JUST A SHADE

Rules act on the notifications you describe:

- Silence, snooze, dismiss, or hold them for later.

- Let the first message through and keep the rest quiet.

- Remind you later, copy a code, press its buttons, reply, pin or protect it.

- Alert your way: sound, vibration, torch, screen lighting, read aloud.

- Match app, words, category, contacts, times, phone state; combine, nest, invert.

- Twenty templates; drag to reorder.

THE SHADE

- 20 browsing styles from a clean list to a ferris wheel, and 35 open and close animations.

- Snooze in one tap; Actions lists the code, link or number inside, to open, copy or share.

- Reply, swipe to dismiss, and a full media player.

- Pin a notification at the top or bottom; protect it from swipes and Clear all.

- Shade buttons: Clear all, Release held, Do Not Disturb, Snooze all.

- Group a chatty app into one row; choose which apps and words appear.

- Style every part of a row.

THE BUTTON

- Design it: shape, colours, border, icons around it, 56 animated icons.

- Album art or a spinning record while music plays; a charging ring.

- Steps aside for the keyboard, full screen apps and the apps you pick.

GESTURES AND EDGE SWIPE

- A tap and 16 swipes on the button, or an Action wheel.

- Edge swipe: invisible strips on the screen sides with their own actions.

- Open apps, music controls, torch, Back, Home, Omnideck actions.

SCREEN LIGHTING

- New notifications light up the screen edge and the button: 30 effects.
