Description
With PenStar, the power of S Pen is in your hands. No longer do you need to depend on developers to implement Air Actions in their apps. You get to customise which S Pen gestures perform which actions in any app.
Whether you're navigating your device, controlling media, or performing your own custom actions, PenStar makes it all possible with just a flick of the S Pen.
Every S Pen gesture can be customised: • Click • Double Click • Long Click • Left • Right • Up • Down • Pointy Left • Pointy Right • Pointy Up • Pointy Down • Circle Clockwise • Circle Counterclockwise • Shake
Supported actions include: • Last App • Open App • Auto Rotate (Enable / Disable / Toggle) • Sound Mode (Sound / Vibrate / Silent / Cycle) • Do Not Disturb (Enable / Disable / Toggle) • Media Control (Play / Pause / Toggle / Next / Previous / Lower Volume / Raise Volume) • Torch (Enable / Disable / Toggle) • Digital Assistant • System (Back / Home / Recents / Notifications / Quick Settings / Power Dialog / Lock Screen / Screenshot) • Touch Sequence (Tap / Swipe / Combination) • Tasker Task
For advanced users, PenStar also has Tasker plugin support. For example, you can hotswap configurations on the fly based on your own logic, and more.
PenStar uses the following permissions: • Notifications: Required. This is required to show you when the app is running in the background and to warn you of any issues that prevent actions from working properly. • Read Logs: Required. This is required to detect when an Air Action gesture has been performed. This permission must be granted with ADB. • Accessibility: Required. This is required to track which app is currently in the foreground, perform the System action, and perform the Touch Sequence action. • Appear on Top: Optional. This is required to perform the Open App and Last App actions. • Write Settings: Optional. This is required to perform the Auto Rotate action. • Do Not Disturb: Optional. This is required to perform the Sound Mode and Do Not Disturb actions. • Run Tasker Tasks: Optional. This is required to perform the Tasker Task action. • Ignore Battery Optimisations: Optional.

Comments on PenStar: S Pen Button Mapper for Android
★★★★★Nathan Shaw· Mar 8, 2026
Completely life-changing. I've been using Samsung Note style phones for years now and the fact that it's had the S-Pen, and it's not done this has been endlessly frustrating. This does everything I've wanted and a plethora of other things I didn't even know I _could_ want. Could not rate it highly enough as it doesn't go up past five stars.
★★★★★Farqiplier· Jan 8, 2026
I love this app, and it works flawlessly for everything, just such a good and functional app.
★★★★★Sasindu Mihiranga· Oct 27, 2025
This app is the pinnacle of intuitiveness for any tech enthusiast looking to get the most out of their spen. Everything about the app is excellent: the familiar UI, straightforward set up process and the freedom of customizing taps and gestures. Just a teeny little addition would be to add preset app actions, like scroll, previous, next, like, follow, etc. that don't depend an on a permanent fixed trap or scroll gesture for popular apps.

I have a Samsung Galaxy Note phone and I find this app extremely useful since I can further configure air actions for various of app, and it is not just limited to those labeled in the Air Action settings
★★☆☆☆Rosita Pacheco· Aug 1, 2025
Does not work for S25 ultra because air actions permissions is required to be granted, but it doesn't actually exist on this model. Everything paired fine and the Shikoku service despite that.

What they have shown in it's description and in its video or photos-it's actually totally different when one downloads it. After downloading it demanded many unusual numbers of conditions, including for one it's paid app too, for its activation, therefore friends stay away from such apps as they have vaisted our time, and remember them, in the future, if they launched any app even if they pay you for it, or it is the worlds' only available app, don't go for it,

Makes you download another app to connect witeless to something. Received a comment saying that it doesn't require you to download another app, but it does. The reply comment is a lie
