Description
IMPORTANT: The app is discontinued. No support is provided.
Material Cue was designed for app developers, not as a general purpose overlay drawing tool. If you intend to use it for anything else than checking whether your app’s layout conforms to Material Design guidelines, you’re on your own.
The app is not designed to revive itself when the system kills an overlay service for any reason. There weren’t any problems with overlays disappearing back at the time and under intended use. If you experience these issues, try disabling your device’s battery optimization functions. For instructions see dontkillmyapp.com

Material Cue is a professional tool that draws grids and keylines over the device screen, helping developers to better design their apps. It is a must-have tool for every Android developer, designer or tester who is considerate about Material Design.
Material Cue comes with several pre-defined basic overlays, but the real power is the ability to create your own.
Key features: • Comes with 8 basic overlays, such as standard (8 dp) and typography (4 dp) grids, ratio keylines, avatar list, and responsive UI columns. • A simple yet flexible expression language for building custom overlays. Copy and adjust existing overlays, or make new ones from scratch — the canvas is yours! • Overlay editor with preview and autocomplete. • Choose multiple overlays, then toggle or switch between them from the notification without leaving your app. • Superior performance: memory efficient, and switching between overlays is instantaneous. • Does everything that similar apps can do and more, for free! • By design-minded developer, for design-minded developers.
Material Cue uses Google Analytics, Firebase Analytics and Crashlytics to collect anonymous, non-identifying usage data, so that I can understand how the app is used, troubleshoot issues, and make it better. By installing the app you express your consent to such data collection. For more details see the Terms of Service and Privacy Policy.

Access to the preview will be rolled out in stages, early supporters first. • Also comes with the promise to update more frequently this year :)

Comments on Material Cue for Android
★★★★★
Great app, I use it for golf clash. As of November 1st 2021 after Android 12 update it no longer displays over apps and let's you click anything. Almost like entire screen isn't usable while open Hopefully they fix issue soon
★★★★★
I have been using this app for a few months without issues. However, just today I started seeing issues with the grid lines disappearing from the screen after about 20 seconds. I know there wasn't an update to the app and noticed others having similar problems. I found that I had changed a setting in the power options. I had set it to save battery life and it puts idle apps to sleep. I set the power setting back to optimized and the grid lines stay on the screen until I close the app.
★★★★★
Excellent app for checking layouts.
★★★★★
Doesn't work on Android 12. When grid lines are turned on you can't touch anything on the screen. New Android 12 security feature I believe. Please provide a fix.
★★☆☆☆
stopped using it because the grids always disappear after a while.
★★☆☆☆
The grid constantly disappears try to reload it just for it to disappear again
★★☆☆☆
it works great except for it CONSTANTLY crashing in the middle of my game and have no way to bring it back up!! will change to 5 stars AFTER this gets sorted! until then 2 stars is all i can rate because what is the point in using an app that crashes at least 20 times a day! makes things really frustrating!!
★★☆☆☆
I am unable to understand how to use this app I am an Android developer and wants to use this app but didn't found any tutorial how this app helps if you can give me some documentation to understand or examples how this app helps I will change my review to 5 star and will use this app for my development and testing.
