Motion Cues

LightDay Tech

About this app

Reading or scrolling in a car, bus or train can feel queasy because your eyes see a still screen while your body feels the vehicle move. Motion Cues puts small dots along the edges of your screen that shift as the vehicle speeds up, brakes and turns, so what you see matches what you feel. For many passengers that may make reading on the move more comfortable.

HOW IT WORKS
• The dots appear over whatever app you're using and move with the vehicle, measured with your phone's motion sensors.
• Your taps pass straight through: the dots never block buttons, scrolling or typing.
• Automatic mode shows the dots only while Android detects you're in a vehicle, and hides them when the ride ends.
• Or keep them on manually whenever your screen is on.

MAKE IT YOURS
• Two patterns: Regular (dots shift and settle) and Dynamic (dots flow with the motion)
• Seven colors, larger dots and more dots
• Sensitivity control for smooth highways or bumpy roads
• Live preview with Speed up, Brake and Turn buttons to try it at your desk

QUICK TO USE
• Turn cues on or off from a Quick Settings tile or the notification
• Battery friendly: motion sensors run only while the dots are showing and the screen is on

PRIVATE BY DESIGN
• No account, no ads, no analytics
• No internet access: nothing leaves your phone
• The overlay can't see or read your screen

PERMISSIONS
• Display over other apps: needed to draw the dots on top of other apps.
• Physical activity (optional): lets Automatic mode know when you're in a vehicle.
• Notifications (optional): shows the on/off notification.

Motion Cues is for passengers. Never use your phone while driving. Motion Cues is not a medical device and doesn't diagnose or treat any condition.
