App summary
Use a computer-like cursor/pointer to conveniently control your big smartphone with one hand.
Easy to use:
1. Swipe from the left or right margin from the bottom half of the screen.
2. Reach the top half of the screen with the cursor by dragging the tracker, using one hand in the bottom half.
3. Tap the tracker to click with the cursor. The tracker will disappear on any click outside it or after a period of time.
Smart Cursor is free and without ads. Customization options and behavior settings for cursor, tracker and button highlights are freely accessible.
Snap-to-Click: When you move the cursor, any clickable button will be highlighted. Smart Cursor also recognizes which button you are aiming at. Once the button is highlighted, you can already perform a click on it by tapping the tracker. This greatly helps with clicking small buttons.
Quick Settings tile: As the most convenient way to enable/disable the cursor, you can add the Smart Cursor tile to your Quick Settings tray.
Context actions (Pro version): With Context actions, long pressing a button will trigger an action specific to its function. For a button in a horizontal row it's scrolling, for the status bar it's pulling down the notifications.
Features in the Pro version: (SPECIAL OFFER UNTIL THE END OF THE MONTH: PRO FEATURES FREE)
- Trigger more gestures with the cursor: Long click, drag & drop
- Context actions: long pressing a button will trigger an action specific to its function (scroll / expand notifications)
- Swipe action: trigger Back, Home, Recents button, expand Notifications or Quick Settings by swiping in and out from the margin
- The option to blacklist/whitelist apps
NOTE: Highlighting clickable buttons, Snap-to-Click and Context actions work only in regular apps, not in games and not in web pages.
