They are both the exact same app. Buy this app if you like the app and would love to buy me a coffee. If you do decide to buy me a coffee, please do keep just one of them installed on your device.

- If you need to block certain edge/s when playing games such as PUBG, Mobile Legend
- If you need to block certain edge/s for specific Application/s
- If you need to block certain edge/s everywhere except for specific Application/s

## The Noes (*Cause I'm relying on this app myself) ##
- No (internet, disk/storage access, dodgy etc) app permissions requested. See App permission section
- No Ads
- No tracking (That's why it's hard to track crashes)
- No in app purchase
- No battery drain
- No slowing down your phone

## Security note ##
- App does not request internet access. So not possible to receive any data in and/or transmit and data out
- App does not request disk/storage access. So not possible to write and store any data

## App permission ##
- [request delete packages] meant for prompting a dialog to request uninstalling edge touch app when user have both this and donation version installed. This app will not function properly if both of them are installed
- [run foreground service] meant for querying installed applications to allow user select which application/s (when runs in foreground) to enable/disable edge blocking

## Runtime permission ##

Accessibility Service:
Edge Touch blocking functionality depends on accessibility setting. The accessibility setting is used to render views on the screen edges to block unwanted touches. The setting is also used to read the current foreground application package name, system ui and keyboard. This is to allow Edge Touch to remove the rendered view when avoiding them is configured. Edge Touch does not control, read and modify any screen content. Edge Touch does not collect any personal and sensitive data.

These permissions are dangerous as they allow developers to read everything rendered on the screen. Fear not, as mentioned in Security note section, if the app do reads information rendered on the screen, it has no possible way to record and/or sending them out. Feel free to contact developer if you have any concern on this.
