About this app

Get the maximum out of your android device!

Get rid of your navigation bar and learn to appreciate the benefits of gesture-based navigation. There was never before, a more natural way, to control your smartphone. Let the future begin!

Who can benefit from this application?

▶ Tech freaks, which want to have the latest features on their device
▶ People with small hands or huge smartphones, it is much easier to expand navigation bar from bottom of screen, than from the top.
▶ People with broken hardware buttons
▶ People who use their smartphone with gloves or have problems touching the normal soft keys. The sensor area of this app is customizable, so everyone can find the perfect size.

Currently these gestures are available:

▶ Swipe up/left/right/down
▶ Swipe up/left/right/down and hold
▶ Short Swipe up
▶ Short Swipe up and hold
▶ Double/triple tap (Donation/Pro version)
▶ Long tap (Donation/Pro version)
▶ Double/triple tap and hold (Donation/Pro version)
▶ Click + Swipe up/left/right/down (Donation/Pro version)

Currently you can invoke these actions with gestures:

▶ Back, Home, Recent Apps
▶ Notifications
▶ Quick Settings
▶ Screen off
▶ Most recent app
▶ Power Dialog (Power off, reboot on some devices, etc.)
▶ Multiwindow (Android 7+)
▶ Lock device on app switch
▶ Google assistant (if installed)
▶ Execute Tasker tasks (Pro, requires Tasker)
▶ Volume actions (Partially Pro required)
▶ Show information (Partially Pro required )
▶ Media control (Partially Pro required)
▶ Brightness control (Partially Pro required)
▶ Launch other apps(Pro required)
▶ Torch (Android 6+, Pro required)
▶ Take screenshot (Android 9+, Pro required)
▶ Internal actions (Hide Bar for specific period, hide bar until app switch, etc. - Partially Pro required)
▶ Power off options, Take screenshot, etc. (Root, Partially Pro required)
▶ Numerous other actions

These features set Gesture Control apart from the competition:
▶ Possibility to create an infinite number of sensor bars
▶ Possibility to disable individual sensor bars in certain apps
▶ Possibility to activate individual sensor bars only in certain apps
▶ Configurable gesture detection
▶ Sensor bar color configurable per app (Pro)
▶ Possibility to start other apps per action (Pro)
▶ Possibility to split sensor bars into up to five parts (freely configurable, Pro)
▶ Unique stability and reliability
▶ 100% offline, no internet permission, highest possible data protection

In order to provide the above-mentioned functions, the applications uses accessibility services features.

To make the visibility and appearance of the sensor bars in individual apps customizable, and to display and launch installed apps, the app needs access to the list of installed apps.

Privacy is important to me. This application will not send any personal data to the developer or anyone else.

If you like my app, I would be very happy if you have a look at the donation/pro version (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.conena.navigation.gesture.control.pro).

Good App, but needs refinement. When is comes to gesture zone detection and customization, this app seems to be the best so far. My only complaint is I don't like the click/tap gestures, they don't always register on my OnePlus 11. The double or triple taps doesn't always register or miss register as a single tap if not done super fast. I wish we had double swipe gesture. For example on a right side bar, up/down then left or left followed by up/down.

Is your sensor area perhaps too small? The click gesture is very simple, either a touch input is recognized or not. If it is not recognized, there was nothing in the sensor area. Try making it bigger. If you have any questions, please contact info@conena.com.

great, actually excellent for this app. no flaws I could see so far other than (maybe only for me, but) the gesture pill will be in the middle of the screen when in landscape mode, and I searched the settings for it but didn't find it. would be good if that was fixed. Also does the nav pill auto hide when in full screen mode? it doesn't seem to for me, I searched the settings soo. if it was there in settings, make it much more accessible to us. thanks 👍

Hey, thanks for your feedback! I'm not quite sure what you mean, can you please send me a screenshot of Landscape and Portrait to info@conena.com and mark where you want the bar?

I was amazed by this app. Best navigation gesture app I've tried so far. Uses an impossible to notice amount of battery (My phone says it uses 0%!) and is very responsive. Quick tip, if you have a phone in which the navigation bar is hideable and can be reopened, make sure it is disabled so the navigation bar is always there or else it will cause the gesture navigation to not show up in app. Definitely get this app.
