NotchMate: Touch the Notch

NotchMate turns your phone's camera cutout (notch) into a powerful gesture pad. Swipe, tap and touch your notch to trigger any action you want, without unlocking your phone or reaching for buttons.

CUSTOMIZABLE GESTURES

Bind any action to any gesture:

- Single touch, double touch and long touch

- Swipe left, right and down

- Swipe left and hold, swipe right and hold

Each gesture can trigger a different action, fully customized by you.

ACCESSIBILITY SERVICE API DISCLOSURE

Notch Mate uses Android's AccessibilityService API. It is required for the app's core function, and you must turn it on yourself in Settings → Accessibility. The app shows an in-app disclosure and asks for your consent before sending you there.

Why the service is needed:

• Perform system actions: when you trigger a gesture, the service runs the action you bound to it, such as Back, Home, Recents, Notifications, Quick Settings, Power menu, Lock screen, Split screen and Take Screenshot. Android does not let a normal app perform these actions.

• Detect the foreground app and keyboard: the service sees which app is in front and whether the keyboard is showing. This makes your per-app exclusion list and safeguards work, so the notch is disabled where you don't want it.

• Find a scrollable area: for the Scroll Up and Scroll Down actions, the service looks at the screen structure to find a scrollable area. It does not read the text in it.

What Notch Mate does NOT do with this permission:

• It does not read, record or store the text on your screen, what you type, passwords or personal information.

• It does not collect or transmit accessibility data, and it does not sell or share it. Nothing the service sees leaves your device.

• It does not observe key presses or perform gestures on your behalf outside the actions you assign.

You can turn the service off at any time in Settings → Accessibility → Notch Mate. Without it, the notch gestures stop working.
