## Description

Power Menu is a handy Chrome extension designed to bring the system default power menu directly to your device with ease. It helps prolong the lifespan of your physical power button by offering software-based shortcuts to access essential power options. In addition to opening the power menu, users can quickly lock the screen, take screenshots, and toggle split screen mode via convenient widgets and quick launch shortcuts.

Utilizing Android's Accessibility Service API, Power Menu ensures seamless core functionality without compromising user privacy—no data collection or transmission occurs. The extension is especially beneficial for devices with malfunctioning or worn-out power keys, offering a practical alternative while maintaining device usability. Note that powering on a device via software is not possible due to hardware restrictions. Power Menu provides an intuitive, accessible solution to manage power functions efficiently on your Android device.
