Everywhere Launcher

The Description of Everywhere Launcher

Site Editorial Commentary：Sidebar/Edge Launcher - apps, shortcuts, widgets, contacts available everywhere

Everywhere Launcher is a versatile sidebar app (edge launcher) designed to enhance your Android experience. It allows you to effortlessly open customizable sidebars by simply touching or swiping any screen edge, providing instant access to your favorite apps, shortcuts, widgets, and contacts with a single touch or swipe.

This innovative app enables you to create multiple distinct regions along the screen edge, each capable of launching different sidebars based on your preferred gesture. This ensures that all your essential content is just a quick swipe or touch away, regardless of the app you're currently using, boosting your multitasking capabilities.

Special permissions
---------------------------------------------

GET_TASKS: Required to retrieve recent tasks on Android versions prior to 5.0. This permission is not used on Android 5.0 and later.

I aim to use runtime permissions wherever possible and will not add internet permissions. The following special permissions are optional and will be requested at runtime (on Android 6.0 and higher) only if you use a feature that requires them:

READ_CONTACTS: Needed to include contacts in sidebars/sidepages.
CALL_PHONE: Needed to create direct call shortcuts.
WRITE_SETTINGS/READ_SETTINGS: Used for special actions like adjusting volume, brightness, and similar settings.
