This app uses accessibility service.
This is used to detect when an app is launched or closed and allows you to change the rotation actions for each app.
This information is not stored or shared.


【For OPPO users】
This app needs to run a service in the background to detect which app has started.
OPPO devices require special settings to operate app services in the background due to their unique specifications. (If you do not do this, services running in the background will be forcibly terminated, and the app will not operate properly.)
Please drag this app a little down from the recent apps history and lock it.
If you do not know how to set, please search for "OPPO task lock".

Beeps constantly, unintuitive, payware trial masquerading as a free app
by Michael Tomkins, 2024-11-17

Acts like the pro version for a week and then deactivates... Lacks any knowledge of this going in. 👎👎👎

Works perfectly for what I need it to, and none of the necessary features are paywalled. Great app.
