Features & Capabilities

Powy is a versatile Chrome extension that enhances your smartphone and tablet experience by enabling customizable power button shortcuts. With Powy, you can quickly open the camera app, toggle your flashlight or torch, hear the current time via text-to-speech, record audio, or execute Tasker tasks—all by tapping the power button a set number of times. These shortcuts work seamlessly in the background and even when your device is locked, offering fast and convenient access without draining your battery.

Designed for compatibility across various Android devices, Powy provides a user-friendly interface to configure and toggle shortcuts on or off according to your needs. Whether you're jogging and want to hear the time without looking at your phone or seeking instant access to your camera and flashlight, Powy empowers you with efficient control leveraging your device's power button. Note that for Tasker task functionality, the Tasker app must be installed and configured to allow external access.
