About TouchCaptain - App Switch Bar
Switching apps takes too many taps. Edge panels are easy to trigger by
mistake, and going through the home screen takes two.
TouchCaptain is a vertical bar that stays on the edge of your screen.
Add the apps you use most and switch with a single tap.
■ Features
· Switch in one tap
Apps already running come back to where you left off.
Check the map while typing an address, and your text is still there.
· Up to 6 apps
Drag to reorder them, and find one by name when adding or replacing.
· Flashlight at night
A fixed slot at the bottom of the bar. A yellow outline shows it's on.
No camera permission needed.
· Left or right
Put the bar on whichever edge suits your hand.
· Keep it folded
Leave only the flashlight so the bar barely covers your screen.
Press and hold to open the app list; it folds again shortly.
· Move it up or down
Long press and drag. It stays where you drop it, so you can keep it
clear of buttons underneath.
· 13 background colors + transparent
Add a background if icons blend into bright screens.
· Auto off after 5 hours
It turns itself off if you forget.
■ Notes
· 'Display over other apps' permission is required to show the bar.
· Android requires an ongoing notification while it runs.
· Your app list and settings stay on your device. There is no server.
· This app is free and shows ads.
