#🎯 Side Panel

The side panel is useful for one simple reason: you can pull out your most-used tools without leaving the app you are already in.

#👆 How to use

1. Swipe inward from the configured screen edge
2. Hover over a button in the grid
3. Release to trigger the selected action

#✨ Why people like it

• Smart anti-accidental touch: Only triggers when swiping inward from the edge
• One-hand operation: Swipe, hover, release
• Auto-hide: Automatically hides after a short idle period
• Gentle retouch window: Briefly lets you adjust before an accidental trigger becomes final
• Real-time preview: Shows the current button while you are hovering
• Great on large phones: Handy when reaching across the screen is annoying

#⚙️ Adjust the trigger area first

• Trigger edge: Left / Right / Top / Bottom
• Zone height: Adjust the length of the trigger area
• Zone position: Configure where on the edge the trigger activates
• Transparency: Control panel and button opacity
• Edge indicator: Show or hide a persistent line marking the trigger zone
• Floating Parrot: Optional draggable launcher for people who prefer a visible entry point

#🔐 Accessibility requirement

The side panel needs Android accessibility permission so it can:

• Detect the edge gesture reliably
• Draw the floating overlay above other apps
• Interact with visible UI when touch cursor or assistant actions need it

#❓ Common questions

#The side panel does not respond

• Confirm accessibility service is enabled
• Make sure you are swiping from the actual trigger edge
• Check whether another app is already using the same edge gesture

#Touch cursor clicks are not registering

• Verify accessibility permissions are granted
• Try clicking on highlighted interactive areas first
• Some system UI zones still have Android-imposed restrictions
