RoteCat: Auto Rotate & Control

YouTube fullscreen auto-rotation for your tablet — and much more.

RoteCat brings automatic video rotation, floating controls, Quick Settings shortcuts, notification controls, and per-app orientation settings together in one app.

Keep your tablet in portrait for everyday use. When you enter YouTube fullscreen, RoteCat switches the screen to landscape and restores your previous rotation settings when you leave.

Beyond videos, control your screen with a floating cat bubble, convenient rotation shortcuts, and individual orientation settings for your apps.

Your screen, your direction.

GETTING STARTED
Open RoteCat and grant the required permissions. Enable Video Auto-Rotation, then play a YouTube video and enter fullscreen while using your tablet in portrait mode.

You can also enable the floating bubble, add the Quick Settings tile, or configure per-app orientation settings for more control.

PERMISSIONS
RoteCat uses an accessibility service to detect supported fullscreen playback and the active app for enabled per-app orientation features. Permission to change system settings is required for rotation control. The floating Rotation Bubble also requires permission to display over other apps.

Enable only the features and permissions you need.

ADS AND OPTIONAL DEVELOPER SUPPORT
RoteCat includes banner ads. An optional one-time developer support purchase removes ads within RoteCat. It does not remove ads from YouTube or other apps.

COMPATIBILITY
Automatic YouTube fullscreen rotation is designed primarily for Android tablets. Other rotation controls are also available on compatible Android devices.

Behavior may vary depending on your device, Android version, browser, and video player. Not all embedded players or in-app browsers are supported.

RoteCat is an independent utility, not an official YouTube app.
