NavEdge Smart Assistive Touch

Assistive touch for one hand. Reach every button on a big phone.

NavEdge puts a small floating button on your screen. Tap it and a ring of shortcuts opens right under your thumb. Back, home, recent apps, volume, flashlight, screenshot, or any app you like. Swipe the button in four directions for four more shortcuts, without opening the ring. It works on the lock screen too.

Made for big phones, a weak grip, sore or shaky hands, and one handed use.

HOW NAVEDGE USES THE ACCESSIBILITY SERVICE

NavEdge uses the Android AccessibilityService API. The app cannot work without it. Here is all it is used for:

* To run the floating button over other apps, and keep it in place when you switch apps or turn your phone.
* To do the action when you tap a shortcut: back, home, recent apps, notifications, quick settings, screenshot, power menu and lock screen.
* To scroll the page for you in Auto Scroll, by sending a swipe.
* To see when the keyboard is open, so the button moves out of your way.
* To see if the field you are typing in is a password field, so Cloak can cover the screen on its own.
* To take one picture of your screen when you start the Fold effect. That picture is dropped when the effect ends.

What NavEdge never does with it:

* It does not read or save what you type.
* It does not change your settings without you asking, and it never stops you from turning it off or uninstalling the app.
* It does not get around Android privacy controls, permissions or notifications.
* It does not collect your data. Nothing is sent off your phone. No ads, no account, no tracking.

You can turn the service off at any time in Settings, Accessibility.

WHAT YOU CAN PUT IN IT

More than 40 actions: back, home, recent apps, notifications, quick settings, screenshot, screen record, lock screen, volume, brightness, flashlight, camera, rotation, Do Not Disturb, music controls, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, airplane mode, answer or end a call, and any app on your phone.

* Contact bubbles. Tap a face to call someone.
* Folders. Group apps and actions behind one bubble.
* Auto Scroll. Hands free reading at a speed you choose.
* Cloak. Cover the screen while you type, so nobody can read over your shoulder. The keyboard stays visible.
* Night Dim. Go darker and warmer than your phone allows.
* Fold. Tilt your phone to fold the screen away.
* Screen off animations, and a quick settings tile.

EASY TO SEE, EASY TO PRESS

* Make the button and the shortcuts as large as you need.
* It stays where you put it. Hold it before you drag, so it cannot move by accident.
* It lifts above the keyboard, and hides itself in screenshots.
* It fades when you are not using it, and can tuck into the edge.
* Works with TalkBack.

MAKE IT YOUR OWN

Many button styles and color themes, from plain and high contrast to bold. Change the size, the shape, how far the ring opens and how it moves. Ultra adds your own colors, icon packs, and a backup file for your next phone.

FREE, PRO AND ULTRA

The free version is a real app, not a trial. No ads. No countdown. Pay once for Pro or Ultra. There is no subscription, and every update is included.

NEEDS

Android 12 or newer, permission to draw over other apps, and the accessibility service. Some shortcuts need their own permission, such as calls for a contact bubble. Some system switches need Shizuku. NavEdge never asks for the camera or the microphone.
