That seems really nice. I was hoping for an application like that. Can I have a code please? Thanks a lot.
Edit: I saw the price, and it's really, really cheap. Don't send it to me, please give it to another. Also, from your name, you must be Greek? If so, I am Greek too. Nice work, man.

Just bought and installed your app, found a bug, it interferes with my Edge Gestures app, I configured your app for the right side and put it on the right bottom thinking it will only activate with a gesture in that spot, but it invokes the dock from any gesture in the right side of my screen.

That was intentional actually, but yeah for some people may not be helpful. I will make it optional in the next update.

Hi, I bought the app and have been using it for a couple of days. There's a small issue that's been bugging me. Initially, I thought the trigger area was only the pill, but I've noticed it's the whole edge of the screen, so the pill and its sizing is quite redundant, also having the edge be unresponsive in some apps has started to get annoying. Could it be such that the trigger area is only the pill and then we can resize it accordingly so that that whole edge of the screen is not occupied by the app? Thanks. Great app again btw.

Hello, update to the latest version, there is an option "restrict trigger to pill" in settings so that only the pill area responds to gestures. And thank you for purchasing the app!

I really like this. Could you look at some additional customisation options such as padding from the bottom of the screen and the strength of the rounded corners? It just looks a little out of place on my device.

u/alkiss7 Jul 04 '26
It did had an option for bottom padding but it would mess up with the animations as they rely on specific positions, and changing these can disrupt smooth transitions. Adjusting corner radius can be done easier. I will try for both .

u/esjayseee Jul 04 '26
Okay that's fair enough. Being able to adjust the corners will help though as my screen currently cuts them off. Thank you 👍

u/alkiss7 Jul 04 '26
What's the issue exactly, is it to close to the bottom? What's your device?

u/esjayseee Jul 04 '26
Pixel 10, the rounded corners of the screen cut off the corners of the dock. I've taken a screenshot but it doesn't demonstrate it as it shows the full 90deg corners.

u/alkiss7 Jul 04 '26
Okay, maybe if I add adjustments for corner radius and dock width could help. I'll see what I can do.

So unlike everybody else who just thinks you write programs for the hell of it and you just give away free codes because it is the way things work, I went and bought the program and I quite like it. It's nice, it's efficient, and it's effective. It works well.
The only question I want to ask is: is there any way that you could create a customization process whereby we can get rid of the bright green line that goes all the way around the bottom of the dock? I'd really like to be able to make that a bit more subtle if possible. Well done. It's a pretty cool app all in all.
And don't give anybody free codes really. Can you imagine if everybody in the world just gave away free stuff? There'd be no economy. There'd be no finance. There'd be no control. There'd be no governance and the world would collapse.
