Edge gestures for Xiaomi HyperOS, so you can keep the launcher you actually like.
HyperOS ties its gesture navigation to the stock launcher. Switch to Nova, Niagara or Lawnchair and the phone drops you back to three buttons. HyperGesture brings the gestures back with one app, without root, ADB, Shizuku or a computer. It works on any phone with Android 11 or newer.

| Gesture | Does |
|---|---|
| Swipe in from the left or right edge | Back |
| Swipe up from the bottom edge | Home |
| Swipe up from the bottom and hold | Recent apps |
| Swipe right or left along the bottom edge | Previous or next app, once app switching is on |
| Touch and hold the middle of the bottom edge | Circle to Search, once it is on |
In landscape the first bottom swipe only shows a pill, and a second one within 2 seconds goes Home, as HyperOS does in games. Every distance and delay is adjustable in the app's Gesture settings.
hypergesture.apk from the latest release.If Play Protect blocks the install, the site's install steps explain it. If the gestures stop, the app's Troubleshooting screen has the fixes.
Gestures need an accessibility service. This one watches thin strips along the screen edges and turns a swipe into Back, Home, Recents or an app switch. Its configuration withholds window content and accessibility events, so it never reads the screen or what you type. The app goes online only for an update check that stays off until you turn it on, and then asks GitHub for the latest release. It has no ads, analytics or account.
It can't switch on HyperOS's own gesture navigation, since only the system is allowed to do that. It can open the navigation settings so you can hide the three-button bar. docs/hyperos-navigation.md has the details, and docs/development.md covers working on the code.
Circle to Search starts the way MiCTS and CTSLauncher do. Everyone who has sent code is on the contributors page.
