🔒 Privacy, Security & Permissions

🛡️ Privacy First:
This app does not collect, track, or transmit personal data or usage metrics. It requests no storage permissions, making it impossible to read or store your personal files.

🔑 App Permissions Explained:

- Accessibility Service: Used strictly to render edge overlay views (to block touches or display light effects) and detect the foreground app package name/system UI state so Edge Touch knows when to avoid them. Edge Touch never reads, controls, modifies, or records screen content.

- Internet Access: Used solely to transmit anonymous crash logs via Firebase Crashlytics and diagnostic analytics via Google Analytics to help fix bugs and debug edge cases quickly.

- Boot Completed: Used so the app can launch and automatically resume protection or lighting effects immediately after your device boots up.

- Query All Packages: Used for Smart App Avoidance, allowing you to select specific installed applications to trigger or pause edge rules automatically.

- Request Delete Packages: Used to prompt an uninstall dialog if both the free and donation versions are installed simultaneously (running both causes conflicts).

- Foreground Service: Queries running apps to seamlessly toggle edge rules on or off based on your current app.

Ratings and reviews

It works good but you can't even adjust it so you can bring down the top panel (brightness, wifi, Bluetooth, etc) you have to try and pull it down several times, resulting in nothing. So you're just there constantly swiping and usually it doesn't drop down. Can't use the top panel in landscape, only portrait. Wish there were no edge at all, tbh.

Does not work at all and seems like a half baked incomplete WIP. No instructions or explanations of the yellow and green bars, other than they should prevent touch. Ok, then what's the difference between the two? Also has extremely limited options that only let you adjust the sides and not the bottom. Yet another Android failure trying to fix an android failure.

It does exactly what it says. unfortunately I have to stop the process and re enable to accessibility setting sporadically. I'm pretty sure it the OS doing this though hence the full 5 start raring.

What’s new

- Add feature to import edge settings from other edges
- Improve unsync state debugging
- Rework avoid collide to collision strategy
