Gesture navigation for all.
Ogesture adds gesture navigation to Android phones that don't allow gesture-based navigation with third-party launchers. E.g. Xiaomi phones.
You can now use gestures even with 3-button navigation enabled.
| Gesture | Action |
|---|---|
| Swipe inward from the left or right edge | Back |
| Swipe up from the bottom edge | Home |
| Swipe up from the bottom edge and hold | Recents |
Ogesture draws thin, invisible overlays along the edges of the screen and uses an accessibility service to perform the navigation actions when it detects a swipe.
It needs three permissions:
- Display over other apps — to place the edge overlays that detect swipes.
- Accessibility service — to perform the Back, Home, and Recents actions.
- Unrestricted battery usage — so the system doesn't kill the gesture service in the background.
The app guides you through granting all three on first launch.
- This app is free, open source, and collects no data. Everything runs locally on your device.
- Android's security policy blocks gestures on certain screens, such as your phone's Settings pages.
