What an unexpectedly useful app! I'm using a very minimalist case on my phone (which I love) but was constantly triggering my screen. This app solved this problem beautifully. And it doesn't seem to have affected any navigation gestures or use of my keyboard. I highly recommend this app.!

This app is awesome. I use this app as a temporary fix to disable touch at the top of the screen to get rid of ghost touches. As such this app would be much more useful if you could increase the width to however pixels you want instead of just being limited to 100 pixels and instead of equally increasing the block area at the top and bottom and left and right of the screen, it would be better to increase the block area individually. This app would be much more great if these features are added.

The start on boot feature is not working for me even though I paid for it, hope the developer see replies. Otherwise this app is great.

Great app! Just what I was looking for. No more accidental touched on my OnePlus 7 Pro. I paid for 'auto start on boot' to help encourage developer to continue to make great apps.

About this app

EdgeBlock protects the edge of your screen from accidental touches. Great for phones with curved screen edges, thin bezels or infinity displays.

The touch-protected area is adjustable and can be made invisible or any color you like! Adjust the color, opacity and width of the blocked area and specify which edges should be blocked. You can set which edges are blocked separately for portrait, landscape and fullscreen modes.

There are many ways to control EdgeBlock. You can temporarily disable (pause) blocking by tapping the notification. You can turn EdgeBlock on or off with a Quick Settings tile. And finally, you pause/resume or start/stop the service using public intents compatible with automation apps such as Tasker (be sure to specify the package name, flar2.edgeblock)

Public Intents:
flar2.edgeblock.PAUSE_RESUME_SERVICE
flar2.edgeblock.START_STOP_SERVICE

EdgeBlock has no ads and does not collect any of your data. EdgeBlock is lightweight and does not require invasive permissions. It only needs permission to draw or display over other apps.

The free version is fully functional. The only option that requires payment is "Apply on boot." If you want EdgeBlock to automatically start at boot, then you must buy EdgeBlock Pro. If you do not wish to pay, you can start it manually at each boot and still enjoy all other features, ad-free.
