Volume · Brightness · Ringer · Do Not Disturb · Torch · Music · Battery · Quick apps, one swipe from the edge of your screen.
- 🫧 Liquid-glass sliders: slim volume and brightness tracks with a glossy glass capsule thumb (lens, highlight, rim and soft shadow) that squashes and stretches with your drag and springs back
- 📑 6 pages: Sliders · Ringer · Modes · Quick toggles · Music + Battery · Apps, each one can be turned on/off and reordered
- 🎨 4 themes: Classic Black, Glass, Neon and Minimal Light, each with its own hand-made vector icon set
- 🎯 Accent picker: choose the accent colour per theme, applied live
- 🌀 iOS-like springs: open, close, paging, sliders and labels all run on interruptible spring physics (AndroidX DynamicAnimation) with velocity hand-off
- 🔔 Animated icons: the bell shakes, the moon swings in, speaker waves grow with volume, sun rays grow with brightness, Work/Personal pop
- 📳 Haptics & sounds: rich
VibrationEffect.Compositionhaptics (with fallbacks) and 14 small synthesized sound effects; both can be switched off - 👆 Drag-to-open handle: grab the thin handle and pull inward, the panel follows your finger (or just tap it)
↔️ Left or right edge, adjustable handle height, start on boot- 🌗 Gooey edge shape: the panel bulges out of the screen edge with smooth concave bezier fillets

| Version | Highlights |
|---|---|
| v3.0 | Liquid-glass sliders, 6 pages (torch, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, screenshot, music, battery, apps), animated icons, sounds + haptics, page manager, drag-to-open fix, jump-free close |
| v2.0 | iOS-style spring physics, interactive paging, slim volume pill, brightness slider, 4 themes with custom icons, accent picker |
| v1.0 | First panel: gooey edge shape, volume, Silent/Vibrate/Ring, DND + Work/Personal presets |
The git history follows the same steps (tags v1.0 → v2.0 → v3.0). Full details in CHANGELOG.md.
- Wi-Fi / Bluetooth can't be switched by apps on Android 10+, so those tiles open the system Internet panel and Bluetooth settings.
- Work / Personal are sound presets (Work = vibrate + DND priority + lower media volume), not Android work profiles.
- Screenshot needs Android 9+ and the accessibility service enabled.
- Glass theme uses gradients, since real blur isn't available to overlay windows.
- Sounds follow the system-sounds volume, so they are muted in Silent mode.
- While the panel is open, its window blocks touches behind it; tap outside to close.
- Some OEM back gestures can compete with the edge swipe; lowering back-gesture sensitivity on that side helps.
- The APK is debug-signed (not on the Play Store).
