Squeeze Ctrl

Squeeze Ctrl lets you assign actions to squeeze gestures on compatible Android phones, using the device pressure sensor or the edge-squeeze API to trigger shortcuts, launch apps, control media, and toggle common settings with adjustable squeeze intensity and haptic feedback.

Features

Squeeze Ctrl supports assigning custom actions to short or long squeezes, including launching apps, triggering shortcuts, or toggling system settings. You can adjust sensitivity levels and debounce timing to match your handset, control media playback and volume with quick squeezes, and receive haptic or visual confirmation for each action. The app is designed with a privacy-first approach: configuration is stored locally and no account is required.

How it works and requirements

Squeeze Ctrl runs a lightweight background service that listens for squeeze events on supported devices and requests only the permissions needed to perform assigned actions. The app includes options to test and calibrate sensitivity on your device. Compatibility varies by device manufacturer and Android version, so check your device settings to enable edge-squeeze features if available and review any manufacturer-specific options that affect behavior.
