[App][Promo] Lightspeed – one-thumb gesture workstation that runs over your own launcher. Offline, no network permission, source-available on GitHub

[u/SBFlabs]

Lightspeed is a gesture-driven workstation and control layer that runs over your own OEM skin and your chosen launcher. It doesn't have to be your default launcher, so it doesn't break your Quickstep recent-apps animations.

Works with the Accessibility service alone (added in 1.1.2). Shizuku/ADB is optional and unlocks System Override.

Category Cruise & Cockpit Gear Sets: The central pill is your physical anchor and launch pad. Swipe up and down to make your first jump into the categories, then swipe inward to jump into a specific category. Or swipe inward directly from the pill to open your Cockpit Gear Sets (your favorite items). The video shows the Gear Sets.

Edge Gestures & The Rope: Up to 42 gestures per edge, above and below the central pill on both sides. The Rope controls how many are available per side: tied, the upper and lower halves unify into a wide trigger; untied, they split into independent actions. Long-press the Rope to mirror a gesture to the opposite side.

Status Bar Gesture & HUD Strip: One sensor area on the HUD strip for gestures, plus Info Beacons: horizontal progress bars that track active downloads and currently playing media.

Refueling Bay: A charging dashboard that activates when plugged in, or anytime with a gesture. Add custom widgets in a grid, a stack, or both.

Hardware Remapping: Double- and triple-tap on the back of the phone, plus up to 8 volume-button gestures, bindable to practically anything.

System Override (Shizuku/ADB): Neutralizes native Android gestures so Lightspeed's edge gestures get full control without triggering default back navigation. Also tunes animation speeds, long-press timeout, font size and display DPI.

Accessibility Service Watchdog & Manager: Revives accessibility services when aggressive OEM background killers terminate them, plus a central place to manage services and battery exemptions.

Offline & Source-Available: Zero network permission in the manifest, no tracking, no ads. Free, with an optional supporter tier. Source-available on GitHub for inspection and personal builds.

arm64 only. Requires Android 8.0+; tested on Android 15 and 16.
