Description
Easy Slider enables the easiest and most comfortable way to adjust volume and brightness of your device when browsing videos or playing games. It also lets you launch your favorite apps or switch to recent apps effortlessly. No need to use physical buttons or notifications panel to change the volume or brightness from one video to another; place your device off your hands or hold it with one hand, you can increase or decrease the volume instantly by just a single swipe or set brightness easily on any screen and any time you want. What's more, you can launch pinned or recent apps from the new advanced slider menu easily.
Warning: This app may not work as expected on devices with edge display. You may need to increase swipe area width to high values, which means using more of the screen as overlay.
Easy Slider allows performing swipe actions on selected side of the screen. It displays an overlay over other apps, which is always available when the screen is unlocked (except while some system apps which display over the overlay are open in the foreground).
You can start using Easy Slider with the default settings, but if you want to modify the app according to your preferences, you can change every parameter you need from the configurations.
Features of Easy Slider: - Always available overlay area for swipe detection - Quick swipe up/down to increase/decrease volume or brightness by desired steps - Hold after swipe to show slider for specific adjustment. Continue holding and swipe to set volume or brightness. - Swipe up/down and then inwards to mute/unmute volume or set auto/manual brightness mode - Double tap and swipe up/down to adjust secondary gesture level. Double tap and swipe inwards to toggle auto/manual brightness or mute/unmute volume mode. - Swipe up followed by down, or down followed by up to set volume or brightness to your defined preset level - Swipe inwards to display advanced slider. Pin apps to quickly launch them. See recent apps and switch easily. - Apply custom icon packs, set matching menu icon style - Alternative way to set volume and brightness on advanced slider - Transparent display of the swipe area with adjustable opacity and color - Configurable swipe area position and offset for both portrait and landscape orientations - Configurable swipe area width and height - Suitable for left and right hand usage - Single hand usage - Volume or brightness increase and decrease steps, min and max levels adjustable - Enable/disable service - Auto start on boot if left enabled - No battery usage
Tip: If you start by swiping up or down, it's primary gesture; if you start with tap and then swipe, it's secondary gesture. Apart from these, don't forget that swiping inwards shows the advanced slider menu.

Comments on Easy Slider - Edge Gestures for Android
★★★★★Unknown· Nov 9, 2025
Great app! The volume and brightness control is super useful. don't know why its rating is very low
★★★★★Martín Varela· Aug 22, 2024
Godsend. Volume is the only interaction that had still required me to use physical buttons for quick access, now I can truly enjoy an everything-gestures phone. Great for button longevity. It could also save your phone cover from breaking down in that area. REPLY: I only have 1* gripe left: For some reason it sporadically fails to detect the gesture even for perfectly centered presses, with large area setup. Yes... this also happens with nothing running, and only in quick follow-up gestures.

Great for big tablets. On couch & 11½ A13 Honor tablet. Bringing up the secondary slider was a bit of mystery for me, until I hit on double-tap. No sure how clearly stated in info 🛌

Has hidden dependency on Google services and can not be used, pitty.
★★☆☆☆Aditya Gupta· Dec 29, 2025
When Easy Slider is enabled and running in the background, Android blocks browser permission popups (location, camera, microphone). Because of this, Chrome, Edge, and other browsers show the error: “This site can’t ask for your permission. Close any bubbles or overlays.” As a result, many websites that require permissions (location camera other) become unusable unless the app is force stopped or uninstalled. Issue needs to be fixed.

Wants me to change too many settings. There is no hibernation setting on Android.
