AccessibilityService API Usage

Important Notice: This app OPTIONALLY uses Android's AccessibilityService API to enable control of training applications through your Zwift devices.

Why AccessibilityService:

▶ To simulate touch gestures on your screen that control trainer apps

▶ To detect which training app window is currently active

▶ To enable seamless control of apps like MyWhoosh, IndieVelo, Biketerra.com, and others

How We Use AccessibilityService:

▶ When you press buttons on your Zwift Click, Zwift Ride, or Zwift Play devices, BikeControl translates these into touch gestures at specific screen locations

▶ The service monitors which training app window is active to ensure gestures are sent to the correct application

▶ NO personal data is accessed, collected, or transmitted through this service

▶ The service only performs the specific touch actions you configure within the app

Privacy and Security:

▶ BikeControl only accesses your screen to perform the gestures you configure

▶ No other accessibility features or personal information is accessed

▶ All gesture configurations remain on your device

▶ The app does not connect to external services for accessibility functions

This app is not affiliated with or endorsed by Zwift, Inc. or Wahoo or Elite.

Permissions Required

▶ Bluetooth: To connect to your Zwift devices

▶ AccessibilityService (optional): To simulate touch gestures for controlling trainer apps
