Simple Control

Simple Control is a navigation utility app that adds on screen back, home, and recent buttons.

Simple Control helps when hardware keys are broken or hard to reach on your phone. It places a virtual navigation bar on the display so you can go back, return home, or view recent apps without using physical buttons. Setup is straightforward, and the service runs with accessibility permissions while respecting your privacy. If you download Simple Control, you can adjust placement and behavior to fit one handed use, and you can keep your screen controls available across apps.
