## Description

SimpleTouchPad is a floating, customizable touchpad designed for seamless one-finger control on large-screen devices. It allows you to adjust the touchpad size and position to perfectly fit your finger, minimizing screen obstruction by hiding or showing the pad only when necessary. The app supports intuitive pinch operations with a single finger and lets users record routine touches for easy replay.

Ideal for avoiding the limitations of device-standard one-handed modes, SimpleTouchPad also enables smoother interaction when demonstrating app operations with a cursor or performing short touch gestures anywhere on the screen. Additional features unlocked via in-app purchase include multiple cursor appearances, automatic display switching based on the current app, customizable flick menus for launching apps or shortcuts, and storing up to six operation records. For advanced touch recording and replaying, consider the related FRep2 app. Note that SimpleTouchPad uses Accessibility and Usage Access permissions to enhance touch operations and cursor previews.
