Everywhere Launcher - Sidebar Edge Launcher for Android

Everywhere Launcher is a sidebar app (edge launcher) that allows you to open sidebars by touching/swiping any screen edge so that you have your apps, shortcuts, widgets, contacts always available only a single touch or swipe away.

This app allows to have multiple different regions at the screen edge and each region can open up different sidebars depending on the gesture on it. This way you have all your content just one swipe or touch away, no matter in which app you currently are.

Main features

Add an arbitrary number of apps, shortcuts, widgets to a folder inside a sidebar

Put those handles to the left or right side or even to the top or bottom of your screen

Many triggers (gestures) available (slide up/down/left/right, click, double click, long press) which will open a sidebar

Enable multiple triggers per handle (for example, you can open "all apps" sidebar if you swipe right on a handle and open "recent apps" if you slide down on the same handle)

Special permissions

GET_TASKS... to get recent tasks on Android <5... doesn't do anything on android >=5

I try to only add special permissions if they are runtime permissions, so I don't and won't add internet permissions. Following special permissions are optional and will be requested at runtime only (on android devices with android 6 or higher) and only if you use a feature that needs it:

READ_CONTACTS... needed to include contacts in sidebar/sidepage

CALL_PHONE... needed so make a direct call shortcuts

WRITE_SETTINGS/READ_SETTINGS... used for special actions like changing volume, brightness and similar
