Scroll Pilot: Auto Scroller

Scroll Pilot is an auto scroller for long text: lecture notes, study guides, manuals, reports and long articles. Instead of swiping every few seconds, dial in a speed and the page glides at a steady rate while your eyes stay on the words.

◆ Speed you can dial in

• 20 precise steps, from a crawling 0.1× up to 5×. Hold + or − to sweep through them.

• Each start eases in smoothly, so you never lose your line.

• Two presets on one label: double-tap to switch between Read and Skim, each with its own value.

• Measure your pace (Premium): read 3 screens, tap ✓ after each, and get a speed saved for that app.

◆ Finish on schedule

• Finish in mm:ss (Premium): set "finish in 4:30" and the speed corrects itself as you go (in apps that report scroll position).

• A thin progress ring around play shows how far you are; Premium adds an estimate of time left.

• Reading stats: today, streak, last 7 days, longest session.

◆ Navigate without losing your place

• ⤺ steps back a few lines when you miss something, then pauses briefly so you can catch up.

• Hold ⤺ to jump straight to the top or bottom (Premium).

• Touch the screen to stop; it resumes after 2 to 10 seconds, or waits for play.

• At the end of the page: stop, pause or keep going; back to the top and loop with Premium.

• Reading guide line (Premium): a fixed line or highlight band that keeps your eye on the current row.

◆ A flight plan for every app

• Profiles per app: speed, mode, direction, seconds per page, swipe lane and stroke length. One app free, unlimited with Premium.

• Show the panel in every app, or only in the apps you add (the list starts empty).

• Auto-start (Premium): opening an app you switched on starts scrolling after a countdown. Off for all apps by default.

• Countdown of 3, 5 or 10 seconds before any run, free.

◆ Cockpit panel

• Collapse it to a dot, let it fade while scrolling, three sizes; faded opacity with Premium.

• Separate positions remembered for portrait and landscape.

• Also on the notification, Quick Settings tile, widget and launcher shortcuts.

◆ Modes and guardrails

• Continuous scrolling and speed control are free. Page flip (2 to 60 seconds per screen), horizontal, scroll-and-pause and a 5 to 60 minute sleep timer come with Premium.

• Choose where swipes land (left, middle, right) and how long they are.

• Stops below 15% battery when not charging; pauses when the phone overheats or after 2 hours without a touch.

◆ Troubleshooting built in

"Can't see the panel?" runs a checklist (service running, panel on, app list, battery restrictions, notifications) with one-tap fixes. Setup covers "Restricted setting" and Advanced Protection, plus a practice page.

◆ Accessibility service disclosure

Android only allows swiping inside other apps through the Accessibility API, so Scroll Pilot needs its service switched on. It is used to perform scroll gestures on your behalf when you start them (play, step back, jump), and to auto-start after a countdown only in apps where you enabled it. It receives just the name of the app in front, to load the right profile, and scroll-position numbers, to stop at the end and show progress.

• It does not read text, images, passwords or other content on screen.

• It never taps buttons or types; it only performs the scroll gestures you start.

• It does not collect, store, send or share personal data or screen content.

You are asked to agree on a disclosure screen before the service is turned on.

◆ Free and Premium

Free: continuous mode, all 20 speeds, countdown, rewind, progress ring, one app profile, with in-app ads only (never over other apps). Premium removes ads and unlocks the Premium items above. Monthly, yearly or one-time lifetime; subscriptions renew until cancelled in Google Play.

Permissions: notifications (Android 13+) for playback controls; internet for ads, purchases and anonymous usage and crash statistics. No account, and settings stay on your phone.
