About this app

Custom edge gestures for one-handed Android control and quick actions

One Hand Control helps you use your phone faster and more comfortably with custom edge gestures, quick access shortcuts, notch controls, pie controls, a touchpad cursor, popup media controls, app launching, macros, and more.

Navigate your Android phone using gesture zones on the left, right, bottom, and top edges of your screen, including Notch Edge controls around the camera cutout.

Customize every detail
Fine-tune zone size, position, sensitivity, timing, colors, animations, haptics, indicators, layouts, and presets to make the controls feel like yours.
• Add customizable left, right, bottom, and top edge zones
• Assign actions to taps, double taps, long presses, swipes, swipe-and-hold gestures, inward pulls, diagonal pulls, bottom-edge slides, and horizontal Notch Edge gestures
• Save presets for different workflows, or import and export backups when moving to another device

Use gestures for actions such as:
• Back, Home, and Recents
• Notifications and quick settings
• Volume and brightness control
• Rotation, flashlight, screenshot, Do Not Disturb, and lock screen
• Media controls and Media Seek
• Page Scroll
• Launching apps and app shortcuts
• Quick Access, Quick Tools, Notch Apps, Notch Timer, saved presets, and custom action setups

One-handed Android navigation
Set up edge gestures and gesture navigation shortcuts for common system actions so your phone feels easier and faster to control with one hand. Open notifications, access quick settings, go back, switch apps, scroll pages, or return home directly from the screen edge. An optional Quick Settings tile lets you pause or resume One Hand Control without opening the app.

Quick actions from anywhere
Launch apps, open shortcuts, control or seek through media, adjust brightness or volume, toggle tools, start a Notch Timer, and access saved presets with gestures you choose.

Optional Pro features
Additional advanced tools are available with Pro, including:
• Notch Edge and split side zones
• Advanced pull sectors and pull animation customization
• Material You colors
• Quick Access and Quick Tools
• Notch Apps and Notch Timer
• Floating app launcher
• Touchpad cursor
• Edge preset picker, presets, and backup
• Media Controller and Notch Media
• Media Seek and Page Scroll
• Slider actions
• Pause rules
• Per-app macro recording and playback

Accessibility access
One Hand Control uses the Android Accessibility Service to detect the edge gestures you configure and perform the selected actions, such as navigation controls, system actions, app launching, page scrolling, touchpad input, and macro playback.

Optional notification access is used only to show current media information and enable Media Seek for compatible active media sessions. Standard media buttons can still work without this access.

Privacy
Your gesture settings and configurations remain on your device. One Hand Control does not include ads, user accounts, analytics, or tracking, and it does not automatically send your gesture settings or diagnostic reports to the developer.

Optional purchases are handled through Google Play Billing. One Hand Control does not receive or store your payment card details.

When you choose Report a Bug, the app creates a local diagnostic report that may include app and device information, permission states, gesture and edge settings, recent app events, and crash information. You decide whether to share that report using an email or sharing app of your choice.

Ratings and reviews

The best app I have ever downloaded or used. The features it has are many and it saves a lot of time. Just by using it I have created one process step that would usually take up to seven clicks, taps, and programs to get into settings and set certain settings. All I have to do is a swipe and it automatically does that. Get this app. Pay the extra $6.49 for the premium package. It opens up a lot of new features. You won't be disappointed.

A great app for keeping sanity while using a trash phone (xiaomi phones which doesn't let users use gestures with 3rd party launchers) I had to use this app for gestures. I didn't expect much while installing but it did give me joy in using it with much unexpected and useful features inside. how to deshittify xiaomi phones (make this app work) 1. enable Accessibility services 2. remove battery optimization restrictions 3. enable auto-start (very important for xiaomi phones)

[update] app gets killed too easily. other similar apps don't get killed at all. I need to toggle it off and on in the Accessibility page before it revives. Same thing happens on Oppo & Xiaomi. Already whitelisted the app from Battery Optimisation.Hope Dev can do more to prevent the app from getting killed. Excellent app! Works beautifully, gives a lot of functionality even on the free version. Already paid for pro version because it's a 1 time payment. I don't like subscriptions.
