AccessibilityService API Usage
Important Notice: This app OPTIONALLY uses Android's AccessibilityService API to enable control of training applications through your Zwift devices.

Why AccessibilityService:
▶ To simulate touch gestures on your screen that control trainer apps
▶ To detect which training app window is currently active
▶ To enable seamless control of apps like MyWhoosh, IndieVelo, Biketerra.com, and others


How We Use AccessibilityService:
▶ When you press buttons on your Zwift Click, Zwift Ride, or Zwift Play devices, BikeControl translates these into touch gestures at specific screen locations
▶ The service monitors which training app window is active to ensure gestures are sent to the correct application
▶ NO personal data is accessed, collected, or transmitted through this service
▶ The service only performs the specific touch actions you configure within the app


Privacy and Security:
▶ BikeControl only accesses your screen to perform the gestures you configure
▶ No other accessibility features or personal information is accessed
▶ All gesture configurations remain on your device
▶ The app does not connect to external services for accessibility functions


This app is not affiliated with or endorsed by Zwift, Inc. or Wahoo or Elite.
