This is a nice share. I have used Edge Gestures for years (made by the same dev who created Square Launcher, which was my daily driver coming off Windows Phone) and this is a nice augmentation to that.
I am curious about the usefulness of the functionality behind the paywall. It looks like some of the app launching features could replace what I use edge gestures for, but without a trial to test it I can’t be certain.
If you use the pro version, can you let me know if there is a way to pick from multiple applications to launch?
Here’s an example of the application shortcuts in Edge Gestures:
So, there are 2 main places for shortcuts/actions: tracker actions and edge actions.
These are my tracker actions
I set it so it activates when I tap and hold the tracker, it shows up those shortcuts. If I slide my finger towards one of the shortcuts, it activates it.
These are my edge actions
These are actions/shortcuts that you trigger by pushing the cursor to the edge of the screen.
You can pick any app from your phone or any of the actions available in the app, there are a lot… Like system controls (volume, brightness control, media playback buttons, screen lock, screen rotation, etc.) and you can also make a shortcut for Tasker/MacroDroid/Automate action. So basically, you can make a shortcut for almost anything you can think of.
