Features & Capabilities

Power Button to Volume is a practical Chrome extension that repurposes your device's volume buttons to perform power-related functions without requiring root access. With this extension, you can easily open your system’s default power menu and lock your phone screen by pressing the volume buttons, simplifying device control and enhancing accessibility.

This tool leverages the Accessibility API and BIND ACCESSIBILITY SERVICE permission to execute global actions such as locking the screen and monitoring volume button key events. It provides a convenient alternative for users with functional hardware power buttons but who want quicker access to power options and screen locking. Note that turning on the device still requires the hardware power button, so ensure it remains operational.
