Edge Volume - Button Control

Assistive Edge Volume, The Virtual Assistive Volume Control Buttons keys Overlay

The Story Behind the App This app was born out of pure frustration. My old phone’s physical volume buttons completely broke, leaving me with no easy way to adjust the sound. Every time I wanted to change the volume, I had to dig through the system settings. It was a nightmare!

So, I built "Edge Volume Assistive" to give myself virtual volume control buttons floating right on the edge of the screen. It solved my broken hardware problem instantly.

Months later, I finally bought a brand new phone. I assumed I wouldn't need my "fix" anymore. But within a day, I found myself re-installing Edge Volume. Why? Because I realized that adjusting the volume with a simple thumb swipe on the screen edge is actually infinitely faster, easier, and more practical than reaching for physical buttons—especially when holding the phone with one hand!

I built it to replace broken buttons, but I kept it because it's simply a better way to control your phone's audio.

Why Choose Edge Volume? Whether your physical volume keys are damaged, unresponsive, or you just want a more modern, frictionless way to control your media, Edge Volume is the perfect solution.

Key Features:

Virtual Volume Control: Add a sleek, invisible (or colored!) volume slider or buttons directly to the edge of your screen.

Perfect for One-Handed Use: Never stretch your fingers awkwardly to reach the hardware keys again. Adjust the sound with a quick swipe of your thumb.

Prolong Hardware Life: Save your physical volume buttons from wear and tear by using our on-screen overlay instead.

Fully Customizable: Adjust the size, height, color, and transparency of the volume edge zone to perfectly match your phone's aesthetic. (Hide it completely if you want a purely invisible swipe zone!)

Non-Intrusive: Floats seamlessly over your other apps without getting in the way of your typing, scrolling, or gaming.

How it Works:

Open the app and grant the required "Display over other apps" permission.

Customize the edge zone position and appearance.

Simply swipe up or down on the edge of your screen to instantly control your volume!

Note: This app requires the "Display over other apps" (SYSTEM_ALERT_WINDOW) permission to draw the virtual volume controls on your screen. We do not collect any personal data or monitor your screen activity.
