About this app

Everywhere Launcher is a sidebar app (edge launcher) that allows you to open sidebars by touching/swiping any screen edge so that you have your apps, shortcuts, widgets, contacts always available only a single touch or swipe away.

This app allows to have multiple different regions at the screen edge and each region can open up different sidebars depending on the gesture on it. This way you have all your content just one swipe or touch away, no matter in which app you currently are.

Special permissions
---------------------------------------------

  GET_TASKS... to get recent tasks on Android <5... doesn't do anything on android >=5

I try to only add special permissions if they are runtime permissions, so I don't and won't add internet permissions. Following special permissions are optional and will be requested at runtime only (on android devices with android 6 or higher) and only if you use a feature that needs it:

  READ_CONTACTS... needed to include contacts in sidebar/sidepage
  CALL_PHONE... needed so make a direct call shortcuts
  WRITE_SETTINGS/READ_SETTINGS... used for special actions like changing volume, brightness and similar

New features

* Notification channels have not been created correctly in some cases
* Dependencies updated
