AppSwitcher

About this app

AppSwitcher turns a steering wheel button on your Android head unit into a smart app switcher. Press the button and a compact switcher appears on top of whatever is running – press again to move to the next app, and it opens automatically.

PICK YOUR APPS
Choose exactly which apps the switcher offers: stock apps such as the built-in radio, and third-party apps like your favourite music, podcast or DAB+ player. Media and navigation apps can be combined, so a single key press takes you from the map to your music and back.

MORE THAN SWITCHING
• Resume your last media app automatically when the car starts
• Automatic night dimming based on local sunset and sunrise, or always on/off, with adjustable brightness
• Now-playing overlay showing artist and title of the current media app
• Landscape overlay to keep portrait-only apps such as some music players in landscape mode
• Button sound feedback
• Run custom automations on start-up (via Automate)

NOT A LAUNCHER REPLACEMENT
AppSwitcher does not replace your home screen. It simply adds a faster, smarter way to move between the apps you use while driving.

PLEASE NOTE
How easy the setup is depends entirely on your head unit. Some units let you assign AppSwitcher to a steering wheel key in a few taps, while others offer few or no customisation options. If you have questions or run into problems, the XDA thread is the best place to ask:
