Why does the app need Accessibility Service API, or Accessibility Permission

Power Menu uses Accessibility Service API to support the following core functions:
- Open power menu (In App Button, Widget,Quick Launch Shortcut),
- Lock Screen (Widget,Quick Launch Shortcut),
- Take a screenshot (Quick Launch Shortcut),
- Toggle Split Screen (Quick Launch Shortcut),

The application only uses the accessibility permission for the sole purpose of supporting core functionalities listed above. Power menu does not ever transmit personal or sensitive information nor does it ever gather user's data or information. Please note that Accessibility service API is mandatory for Power Menu to function.

How to access the "Lock Screen" widget?
◼ For devices running Android version 7.1 ~ 13
1) Tap and hold the Power Menu app icon, you'll see those options displayed.
2) Furthermore, you can tap and hold the preferred option and drag it to your home screen launcher.

◼ For devices running Android version 5.0 ~ 7.0
1) Use "add widget" from your home screen launcher, and navigate to find "Lock Screen".
2) Drag the above widget to your home screen launcher, you'll find an app icon being created on your home screen.

⚠️Important Please note that this app can't power on a device.
Due to physical restrictions, Android applications can't launch if the phone is OFF, so it is impossible to power on any phone with any Android app. This app is only designed to "Slow Down" the damage progress of the power button but not completely replace it. Usually, the crumbling of the power button is a long process. Before it is completely damaged, there may be a period when the power button has poor contact. You should use the app during this time, avoid unnecessary use of the physical buttons, and only use the physical button when necessary (such as when starting the phone). If your power button is already broken, it may be too late.

⚠️Please note that the screenshots, video tutorial displays the power menu of the android emulator; the actual power menu shown will be the default power menu of your particular device; it varies based on your device manufacturer and android version.

User reviews

A tip: Just enable the "Accessibility menu" in phone settings and you'll have a permanent button at the bottom to do what this app does. And it'll never lose the Accessibility permission that MIUI does to the "Downloaded services". I had to clear the app data every time and turn off and on the Accessibility permission because that annoying MIUI bug disables it on its own after a while.

The power menu no longer functions after so long of use. I keep tapping the accessibility API acknowledgement in the app, but no response. 😥

Secret Ninja, 2024-10-06

it was working fine before the update. after the last update, when i go to the app, it say to enable api in the settings. i enabled the api, but the app still doesn't work. still asking me to go to the accessibility to allow api. apparently, i am not the only person facing this. seen others report the same thing after the last update. please fix this, thank you developer.
