SideSqueeze+ is an app that brings extended functionality to your unrooted (or rooted) Galaxy device, helping you to do more. It is only compatible with some Samsung Galaxy devices from 2017 onwards, however many users have reported success with Pixel devices, including the Pixel 5, hence why it is being posted here. I do not have a Pixel 5, so I cannot develop for it at this time beyond what users are reporting to me.
SideSqueeze has grown beyond just squeezing & pressing and has become SideSqueeze+, however to the best of my knowledge, the extra features of the Plus module only work on Galaxy devices, so they are not mentioned in this post. The core feature of this app is detecting both squeeze and press gestures via the analysis of barometric sensor pressure data.
IMPORTANT! For certain actions to work, such as: immersive status/nav toggles, rotation toggle, a command has to be run from a computer via Android Developer Bridge (adb). Instructions can be found from within the app on the Help tab. This step only needs to be performed once.
Your privacy is valued. This app does not contain ads or employ trackers, nor does it collect or harvest your data in any way. It does not have the ability to access the internet, regardless of whether or not special permissions are enabled, as can be verified in the app's manifest file.
