Open-source gesture navigation for Android phones that restrict gesture controls with third-party launchers, such as Xiaomi devices. Swipe from screen edges for Back, swipe up for Home, and swipe up-and-hold for Recents — all while keeping 3-button navigation enabled.

About this app
Gesture navigation for all.
Ogesture adds gesture navigation to Android phones that don't allow gesture-based navigation with third-party launchers. E.g. Xiaomi phones.
You can now use gestures even with 3-button navigation enabled.
Gestures supported
- Gesture: Swipe inward from the left or right edge
Action: Back
- Gesture: Swipe up from the bottom edge Action: Home
- Gesture: Swipe up from the bottom edge and hold Action: Recents
How it works
Ogesture draws thin, invisible overlays along the edges of the screen and uses an accessibility service to perform the navigation actions when it detects a swipe.
It needs three permissions:
1. Display over other apps — to place the edge overlays that detect swipes. 2. Accessibility service — to perform the Back, Home, and Recents actions. 3. Unrestricted battery usage — so the system doesn't kill the gesture service in the background.
The app guides you through granting all three on first launch.
Things to remember
- This app is free, open source, and collects no data. Everything runs locally on your device. - Android's security policy blocks gestures on certain screens, such as your phone's Settings pages.
