RotateX — Rotation Control

Tired of apps that refuse to turn sideways, or a screen that flips every time you lie down? RotateX puts screen rotation back in your hands.

Pick an orientation once and RotateX holds it across your apps. Watch videos in landscape, keep your reader locked in portrait, or give each app its own rule and let RotateX switch automatically as you move between them.

FORCE ANY ORIENTATION
• Landscape and portrait
• Reverse landscape and reverse portrait
• Sensor landscape and sensor portrait (flip within the same orientation)
• Auto-rotate and full sensor
• Turn RotateX off and Android takes over again

PER-APP ROTATION
Set video apps to landscape, chat apps to portrait, games to sensor landscape – whatever suits you. RotateX applies each app's rule when you open it and goes back to your global mode when you leave. No manual switching.

CONTROL IT WITHOUT OPENING THE APP
• Quick Settings tile – switch RotateX on or off from the notification shade
• Persistent notification – change the mode in one tap from anywhere
• Temporary mode – apply a mode for 5, 15, 30 or 60 minutes, then go back automatically

SET IT AND FORGET IT
• Restores your mode after a restart (optional)
• Optional vibration confirmation
• Light and dark theme with Material You colours on Android 12+
• Lightweight and battery-friendly: per-app detection runs only while you have rules, and pauses while the screen is off

PRIVACY FIRST
• No Accessibility Service – RotateX does not read your screen
• No account, no storage, camera, microphone, location or contacts access
• Per-app detection happens on your phone. Your app usage is never stored or sent anywhere
• Usage access is requested only if you turn on per-app rotation

WHY THE PERMISSIONS
• Display over other apps – lets RotateX request your chosen orientation on top of other apps. The overlay is invisible and never shows or reads content.
• Notifications – the notification is your rotation control panel.
• Usage access (optional) – tells RotateX which app is open, so per-app rules work.

GOOD TO KNOW
Android lets apps and phone makers decide how rotation works, so some apps (for example, certain games, camera apps or the lock screen) may ignore a forced orientation. On tablets and other large screens, Android may ignore orientation requests. RotateX is designed for phones.
