About this app

EdgeBlock protects the edge of your screen from accidental touches. Great for phones with curved screen edges, thin bezels or infinity displays.

The touch-protected area is adjustable and can be made invisible or any color you like! Adjust the color, opacity and width of the blocked area and specify which edges should be blocked. You can set which edges are blocked separately for portrait, landscape and fullscreen modes.

There are many ways to control EdgeBlock. You can temporarily disable (pause) blocking by tapping the notification. You can turn EdgeBlock on or off with a Quick Settings tile. And finally, you pause/resume or start/stop the service using public intents compatible with automation apps such as Tasker (be sure to specify the package name, flar2.edgeblock)

Public Intents:
flar2.edgeblock.PAUSE_RESUME_SERVICE
flar2.edgeblock.START_STOP_SERVICE

EdgeBlock has no ads and does not collect any of your data. EdgeBlock is lightweight and does not require invasive permissions. It only needs permission to draw or display over other apps.

The free version is fully functional. The only option that requires payment is "Apply on boot." If you want EdgeBlock to automatically start at boot, then you must buy EdgeBlock Pro. If you do not wish to pay, you can start it manually at each boot and still enjoy all other features, ad-free.

For devices with curved edge screens like my old 1+8Pro it's probably the best solution for preventing accidental navigation errors. After I configured the perfect settings, my stress disappeared. On YouTube the slightest accidental touches kept interrupting what I was watching & load unwanted videos. & Thanks to the developers help, the auto boot up glitch was solved. It wasn't EdgeBlock's fault, it's was caused by One Plus. Thanks again Aaron. EdgeBlock Pro & DevCheck Pro are 5 star apps.

best app around after switching from a gaming phone with built in edge block in games to Samsung, this had done wonders. I would request that other areas be available to block IE corners , and L shapes in corners so the whole edge or side doesn't need blocking. I also feel that it already offers lots of customisation for free , I've seen a pro version but I have yet to buy it to see what features it holds. also extra points for including the public intents.

I am a pro user of the EDGE BLOCK app. I try to keep the app running on my phone at all times, but unfortunately, it keeps turning off on its own after a while. It's unclear whether this is due to battery optimization or some other issue. I am using the VIVO V30 model. I have already tried enabling the "battery optimization off" option within the app, and I have also disabled battery optimization from the phone settings for the app, but nothing seems to solve the issue. Kindly resolve this .

It NEVER turns off on its own. Your operating system shuts it down. You must allow background usage and grant the autostart permission. Please see dontkillmyapp.com for more info.
