Gravity Scroll

Scroll the content of your screen by tilting the phone

Tired of thumb-scrolling through documents, web pages, books and menus? Gravity Scroll lets you scroll the content of your screen by simply tilting the phone. This works in any app that features scrollable content. Wherever you have been scrolling using your fingers, Gravity Scroll can now do the scrolling for you!

Gravity Scroll allows you to scroll down by tilting the phone forward, and to scroll up by doing the reverse. During scrolling, you can control the scrolling speed by tilting further forward or backward. Gravity Scroll also features horizontal scrolling - turn a page in your favorite reader app by tilting the phone to the left or to the right (Pro version).

USAGE: Hold the phone at a constant angle for some seconds (as you would naturally when reading something on the screen). Then, tilt the phone slightly forward. The content on the screen will start scrolling down. To stop, bring the phone back to its former tilt angle. To scroll faster or slower, change the tilt angle during scrolling. For scrolling up, do the reverse.

GravityScroll allows you to adjust the following:

- the initial scrolling speed

- how slow or fast the scrolling speed changes when changing the tilt angle during scrolling

- the ratio of the overall angle for scrolling up to that for scrolling down (the default is 2/3, as it generally takes slightly more effort to tilt the phone towards you)

- whether to use data from the magnetic sensor (use when riding in a car or on the bus)

Moreover, in the Pro version you can also:

- adjust the amount of tilt that triggers scrolling

- select which apps to exclude from scrolling/enable scrolling only for apps selected from a list

- enable/disable horizontal scrolling

- select from a list for which apps horizontal scrolling is enabled

- select the speed of horizontal scrolling (horizontal scrolling is performed at a constant speed, ideal for doing a page-flipping swipe)

- select the amount of tilt that triggers horizontal scrolling

IMPORTANT: If scrolling does not get triggered reliably while riding in a car or a bus, please select "Use magnetic sensor" (in "General Settings")

PLEASE NOTE: Gravity Scroll performs scrolling by doing an automated swipe gesture on behalf of the user. The smoothness of scrolling depends on how much resources in general Android allocates for performing such automated gestures. Also, in those apps (or web pages) that are slow to refresh their content while scrolling, there can be a perceptible lag in executing tilt scroll (just as there would be with regular finger scrolling).

ACCESSIBILITY PERMISSIONS:

- "Perform gestures": For performing the swipe gesture for scrolling

- "Retrieve window content": For auto-detecting scrollable content

- "Monitor your actions": For deactivating tilt-to-scroll when an app is on the exclusion list or the soft keyboard is being displayed
