About this app

With SwiftControl you can control your favorite trainer app using your Zwift® Click, Zwift® Ride or Zwift® Play devices. Here's what you can do with it, depending on your configuration:

▶ Virtual Gear shifting
▶ Steering / turning
▶ Adjust workout intensity
▶ Control music on your device
▶ More? If you can do it via keyboard, mouse or touch, you can do it with SwiftControl

Open Source
The app is open source and available for free at https://github.com/jonasbark/swiftcontrol. Buy the app here to support the developer and receive updates without fiddling with APKs :)

AccessibilityService API Usage
Important Notice: This app uses Android's AccessibilityService API to enable control of training applications through your Zwift devices.

Why AccessibilityService is Required:
▶ To simulate touch gestures on your screen that control trainer apps
▶ To detect which training app window is currently active
▶ To enable seamless control of apps like MyWhoosh, IndieVelo, Biketerra.com, and others


How We Use AccessibilityService:
▶ When you press buttons on your Zwift Click, Zwift Ride, or Zwift Play devices, SwiftControl translates these into touch gestures at specific screen locations
▶ The service monitors which training app window is active to ensure gestures are sent to the correct application
▶ NO personal data is accessed, collected, or transmitted through this service
▶ The service only performs the specific touch actions you configure within the app


Privacy and Security:
▶ SwiftControl only accesses your screen to perform the gestures you configure
▶ No other accessibility features or personal information is accessed
▶ All gesture configurations remain on your device
▶ The app does not connect to external services for accessibility functions


Supported Apps
▶ MyWhoosh
▶ IndieVelo / Training Peaks Virtual
▶ Biketerra.com
▶ Any other app: You can customize touch points (Android) or keyboard shortcuts (Desktop)


Supported Devices
▶ Zwift® Click
▶ Zwift® Click v2
▶ Zwift® Ride
▶ Zwift® Play
