About this app

Easy Slider enables the easiest and most comfortable way to adjust volume and brightness of your device when browsing videos or playing games. It also lets you launch your favorite apps or switch to recent apps effortlessly.
No need to use physical buttons or notifications panel to change the volume or brightness from one video to another; place your device off your hands or hold it with one hand, you can increase or decrease the volume instantly by just a single swipe or set brightness easily on any screen and any time you want. What's more, you can launch pinned or recent apps from the new advanced slider menu easily.

Warning: This app may not work as expected on devices with edge display. You may need to increase swipe area width to high values, which means using more of the screen as overlay.

Easy Slider allows performing swipe actions on selected side of the screen. It displays an overlay over other apps, which is always available when the screen is unlocked (except while some system apps which display over the overlay are open in the foreground).

You can start using Easy Slider with the default settings, but if you want to modify the app according to your preferences, you can change every parameter you need from the configurations.

Features of Easy Slider:
- Always available overlay area for swipe detection
- Quick swipe up/down to increase/decrease volume or brightness by desired steps
- Hold after swipe to show slider for specific adjustment. Continue holding and swipe to set volume or brightness.
- Swipe up/down and then inwards to mute/unmute volume or set auto/manual brightness mode
- Double tap and swipe up/down to adjust secondary gesture level. Double tap and swipe inwards to toggle auto/manual brightness or mute/unmute volume mode.
- Swipe up followed by down, or down followed by up to set volume or brightness to your defined preset level
- Swipe inwards to display advanced slider. Pin apps to quickly launch them. See recent apps and switch easily.

- Alternative way to set volume and brightness on advanced slider
- Transparent display of the swipe area with adjustable opacity and color
- Configurable swipe area position and offset for both portrait and landscape orientations

Tip: If you start by swiping up or down, it's primary gesture; if you start with tap and then swipe, it's secondary gesture.
Apart from these, don't forget that swiping inwards shows the advanced slider menu.

Note: Display over other apps permission is required for this app to run. It allows the app to stay and register touches on top of other apps. You can follow the "Initialize the app" menu to enter the related setting.

Note: Although this app doesn't use any battery in the background, disabling battery optimization may be necessary depending on your system. It's highly recommended to disable battery optimization for this app to prevent it from being stopped by the operating system. You can follow the "Initialize the app" menu to enter the related setting.

Ratings and reviews

had to get this since my volume buttons are broken and get jammed if I press them. it works great for what it has to do and has an option on setting to make the slider as "skinny" as possible so it's not taken up the screen best way possible. but what I don't like is it appears, disappears, appears et. on it's own...and so I have to go back to the app to make it reappear so I can move the volume again to where I want if I need too. that's the only thing I don't like. (edit)I think I found issue

this is the exact volume app that everyone is looking for it's amazing you can slide on edges for volume or brightness and the crazy part is you can make slid invisible😎 but there's a little problem I want to decrease volume to zero not 6 please just fix that guys great app

Great app, try all the settings in configuration to find you preference Still relevant and useful in 2026
