Description

Glowbar puts a vivid animated color bar on any edge of your screen, glowing beautifully across every app you use.

A subtle yet satisfying visual layer for your Android — colorful, quiet, always there.

HOW IT WORKS

Turn the bar on from the Glowbar app and it stays visible as you move between apps. A notification gives you quick controls: "Hide" tucks the bar away and brings it back with one tap, "Turn off" stops it entirely. Settings save automatically.

COLORS

• Palettes — from the classic multicolor look to sunset, ocean, ember, forest, neon and monochrome
• Custom colors — mix your own with a color picker or hex entry, blended into your own gradient

ANIMATION MODES

• Flow — colors travel across the bar in a loop
• Pulse — fades in and out in a soft rhythm
• Breathe — slowly scales its thickness up and down
• Comet — a bright head trailing a fading tail
• Wave — the thickness ripples along its length
• Scanner — a bright window sweeps end to end
• Heartbeat — a double beat, like a pulse
• Aurora — soft blobs of color drift and blend
• Sparkle — glints twinkle across the bar
• Marquee — dashes march along it
• None — static gradient, no movement

CUSTOMIZE YOUR GLOW

• Position — any edge: top, bottom, left, or right, with fine offset control
• Thickness and width — from slim to bold, narrow to wide
• Animation speed — Slow, Medium, or Fast
• Battery indicator — the fill drains as your battery does, and the glow shifts as it charges or runs low
• Foldable-friendly — each screen remembers its own size and position, folded or open

REACTS TO YOUR NOTIFICATIONS AND MUSIC

• Notification glow — the bar flashes a bright burst of light when a notification arrives, like a hardware LED
• Notification progress — the bar becomes a live progress gauge while an app shows download, upload, or other progress, then returns to normal
• Music progress — the bar fills with your track's position while music or video plays
• Show only on new notifications — the glow stays hidden and appears only while notifications are unread

GLOWRING

Prefer something subtler? Switch the shape to Glowring and the glow leaves the screen edge to hug your phone's front camera punch-hole. It auto-detects the camera's position and shape (circle or pill), with manual size, stroke, and position controls, remembered separately for each rotation. The same palettes, animation modes, speeds, battery indicator, notification and music features work on the ring.

SMART BEHAVIOR

• Autostart on reboot — comes back after a restart if it was on at shutdown
• Autohide on fullscreen — steps aside for videos and games, back when you leave

FREE vs PREMIUM

Free includes:
• Animated glow bar — Flow or static, at Medium speed
• Default and Sunset color palettes
• Top and right positions
• Adjustable width
• Toggle on/off or hide, from the app or notification
• Settings saved automatically, with a one-tap reset

Premium (one-time purchase) unlocks:
• Glowring — the glow wraps your front camera instead of the screen edge
• Every color palette, plus custom colors of your own
• More animation modes and speeds
• Battery indicator mode
• Notification glow, notification progress, music progress, and show-only-on-new-notifications
• Autostart on reboot, autohide on fullscreen
• Bottom and left positions, precise offsets, thickness

PERMISSIONS

Glowbar keeps permissions to a minimum:
• Display over other apps — required to show the bar on top of your apps.
• Notifications — lets you hide or turn off the bar from the notification shade.
• Run at startup — used only by Autostart on reboot. Nothing runs at boot unless you turn it on.
• Notification access (optional) — used only by the notification and music features, to react to notification events and read your track's playback position. Glowbar never reads, stores, or shares notification content, and the listener is idle while those features are off.
No hidden permissions, no account required.

Light up your screen, your way.

Comments on Glowbar - Pixel Glow for Android

★★★★☆ Jacks Leung · Jun 4, 2026

Nice app to customize my home screen. But a little issue of the animation and speed will auto reset to default a few times a day, also it will be great to have the bar not appear in full screen mode.

★★★★☆ Baibars Ghonaim · Aug 14, 2026

Very useful app and I'm pretty sure you should optimize the app for different types of notches like the teardrop notch or any of the Samsung S10 notches or punch-holes and the fact that this app already mimics the new pixel glow is amazing, but I'm using a Huawei p30 (base model) and most of the features are locked, so I don't know if it still is in beta, or it doesn't support my phone yet. I hope you all have a very good time creating this app because that's actually a great idea.

★★★★☆ Yasasvi Sri Charan Simhadri · Jun 10, 2026

I've suggested aod edit: Noti Progress Bar Gustavo's Apps does this as you said Android system side should allow. Can you look into this app? Edit 2: can you add a quick notification toggle to turn on/off glow bar? Edit 3: Yeah I saw that notification toggle imho quick settings toggle also does the job. All the best for the launcher development! Are you available on any platform twitter or insta to hit you up with ideas???

★★★★★ Matthew Nakano · Jul 23, 2026

Hi! I love your app man! And thank you so much for making premium cheap lol. Anyway, I wanted to suggest 2 things, so your app can be even cooler! So first of all, why not make the speed selection of the animations an actual slider rather than buttons, so you can get SUPER precise? Another thing is how about letting the user change the color of the notification glow? Like a whole custom/different color? Overall I love your app! And THANK YOU so much for adding custom/themed colors!!!

★☆☆☆☆ Ahmad Garaway112 · Jul 24, 2026

The fact that it's purely DECORATION WHEN YOU DON'T PAY JUST MAKES ME WANT TO GIVE 0 STARS!

★☆☆☆☆ Sadew Anupama · Aug 12, 2026

This is a very bad app I found in play store. Because this only have around 5 customize toggles and many features are locked to payments! Before I am very happy about this app by seeing in play store but inside is a payment!! Please add some free features at least 5!

★☆☆☆☆ Anass · Aug 10, 2026

The worst greedy developer every why is the ring not free??

★★☆☆☆ Bardia Moghaddam pour · Jul 23, 2026

Most of this app's features are paid 😐 At least make the notification section free 😐
