Automation and AccessibilityService API
If you choose to create a 'Foreground application' trigger or use the Blacklist option, Overlays will require you to enable the AccessibilityService permission in order to identify which application is running in the foreground. Beyond that temporary identification, no data is collected or shared.

Translations
Overlays is fully translated to Hungarian (Thanks to Egyed Ferenc), Spanish, Arabic, Russian, Portuguese and is partially translated to other languages. Please contact me if you want to help and translate it to your language.

well... i initially put up a negative review after the latest update. However, i discovered what the problem was.... it was the new quick launch tab at bottom that was causing my issue. didn't realize it was a thing. Every time I'd accessed the app before it was showing my profile screen. needless to say the app does work as featured and apologize for the negative one from before.

I didn't change anything that now requires Pro, on contrary I made pro feature free. I'm sorry but that's not true. Feel free to contact me at liorry@gmail.com with more details so I can at least try to help. Thanks

I was experiencing with a new launcher recently and ended up giving it the prestigious, default home screen title, though it does have its downside; it has only 1 page and doesn't permit the use of widgets. After a little research, I discovered, installed, fell in love, then purchased Overlays to cheat the no widget rule. Thoroughly enjoy this app / widget, would've given it 6 stars.

Almost perfect, I would just like an option for the overlay to not change its position on the physical screen when I rotate it. Im trying to keep an image near my camera pinhole but when I swap to horizontal view, depending on how I hold my phone, it can be on the opposite side. Also, an option for easy screen outline overlays (full border) would be great. It could be my fault, but it's really hard to long press a launcher to change the settings without it thinking Im trying to change the order.
