About this app

Everywhere Launcher is a sidebar app (edge launcher) that allows you to open sidebars by touching/swiping any screen edge so that you have your apps, shortcuts, widgets, contacts always available only a single touch or swipe away.

This app allows to have multiple different regions at the screen edge and each region can open up different sidebars depending on the gesture on it. This way you have all your content just one swipe or touch away, no matter in which app you currently are.

Special permissions
---------------------------------------------

  GET_TASKS... to get recent tasks on Android <5... doesn't do anything on android >=5

I try to only add special permissions if they are runtime permissions, so I don't and won't add internet permissions. Following special permissions are optional and will be requested at runtime only (on android devices with android 6 or higher) and only if you use a feature that needs it:

  READ_CONTACTS... needed to include contacts in sidebar/sidepage
  CALL_PHONE... needed so make a direct call shortcuts
  WRITE_SETTINGS/READ_SETTINGS... used for special actions like changing volume, brightness and similar

Ratings and reviews

This is such a full featured app! It's really great in paper, but unfortunately it's activation sensitivity just can't match Samsung's original edge panels, which never miss, while Everywhere launcher's detection us just all over the place, with unwanted activations add well as not working when you want it to. I'd say it works as expected about 1/3 of the time. Please note, I'm on a GS8 and the issue might be specific to mobiles with curved edge displays.

Back in the day good launchers were plentiful. It was super easy to make your android look like anything. IDK what happened but I was struggling to find a good fully customizable sidebar on the store when I know I had one before. This was it, the the tutorials were a little incessant but that's it's only fault. I myself wont be using it because the features I want are paywalled and I'd rather just go without, but it is definitely worth your money for pro. also doesnt need unnecessary permissions

Mostly great so far. I'm trying to add a sidebar for recent apps and it says I need Usage Stats permission. I searched everywhere and can't find this. I have a Redmi Note 8 Pro. Also possible bug? When I click on Recent Apps under Blacklist I get a similar message about Usage statistics service but the text has some html or XML type tags in like this "< backslash p>" Finally any way to make the sidebar icons larger? Also the contact form on your website is broken.
