Accessibility Service Disclosure
GyroBuddy uses the Android AccessibilityService and Overlay API to enable gyro-based touch input. These permissions are required to simulate on-screen gestures based on your device’s motion.
This allows GyroBuddy to provide motion-based control in games and apps by generating touch input at a specific location on the screen.
GyroBuddy does not collect, store, share, or transmit any personal data. It does not read screen content, keystrokes, or any user input beyond gyroscope data and optional activation keybinds.
Users must accept this disclosure and grant the required permissions to enable functionality.
