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.

For devices with curved edge screens like my old 1+8Pro it's probably the best solution for preventing accidental navigation errors. After I configured the perfect settings, my stress disappeared. On YouTube the slightest accidental touches kept interrupting what I was watching & load unwanted videos. & Thanks to the developers help, the auto boot up glitch was solved. It wasn't EdgeBlock's fault, it's was caused by One Plus. Thanks again Aaron. EdgeBlock Pro & DevCheck Pro are 5 star apps.

When an edge is touched, nothing else on screen can be touched. This is actually common in reviews Ive seen, similar edge blocking apps get the same complaint. Ive been tracking ghost touches with developer options and can confirm p1 is on the edge and p2+ are where I am actually touching. The problem would be fixed if pointers could be "swapped" but I doubt google will let you. System screen calibration is restricted on many newer phones, often with half built drivers, and edge-to-edge screens.

A very powerful tool to keep in my drawer. Newer phones have "skinny" frames that don't make sense to me- how do I place my hand without accidental touching? And I don't want to use grips or suction stand. I switched to a new phone just recently and I couldn't live a day peacefully until I found this app a couple of weeks ago. Happy ever since. It's extra incredible that the author even added intents. I know i can use tasker to enable it at boot, but i went on to support this project anyway.
