## Description

Swipe Navigation Gesture adds customizable edge-swipe back navigation to any Android app. Use left, right or bottom edge swipes to trigger Back, Home, Recent Apps and many other actions with smooth, responsive gestures. The app supports shortcuts like screenshots, split-screen, notification toggle, power dialog, dialer, browser and voice commands — all configurable per edge and sensitivity for precise control.

Install and enable the accessibility service to grant required system actions (Back, Home, Recent, etc.). Customize display, size and sensitivity for each gesture, partition edges for multiple actions, and choose which gestures are active. Simple to set up and lightweight in use.
