Clutch Pad Launcher (SALE) (v. 1.5.1) Разработано stevealbright |
Currently on-sale until updated!
Purpose:
The purpose of Clutch Pad is to help users improve their navigation of Android activities and adapt to each individuals navigational flow. Swipe and Click for shortcuts from the edge of your screen!
________________
IMPORTANT:
Please uninstall old version if upgrading to prevent FC. You need to redo your settings... but lots more customizations added to try :)
Too many needed changes to prevent this but will make sure this will not happen in the next versions to come.
So how does it work ...what does it do?
Surface button: The driver behind CP is the surface button which you can see in the left side of all of my screenshots above. It’s that little half circle attached to the left wall about halfway up. You can tap on it, swipe in various directions on it, and even long press on it to make it complete tasks.
Events: These are the tasks you want to accomplish while using Clutch Pad. If you want to bring up your favorite apps, you can set up a “swipe left” on it. If you want to tap on the surface button to bring up all recent tasks, that’s another event. Stuck in your browser and want your app tray? Then set up a down swipe that will bring up your home launcher.
Visual tweaks: You can place the surface button wherever you’d like, customize the look of it entirely, and even change the color of it.
Dialog Animation: You can set this to mimic whatever look your are trying to get...for example, grow and fade dock or stack :)
Main Features: Favorites, Ignore List, Last Task, Home Launcher, Recent Tasks, Toggle Button, Spotlight, Placement Configuration, Dialog Animations, Surface Button Appearance
Featured on: Droid-Life, Life Hacker, Androidica

[2011-07-13] Xavier: Meh. Isn't as responsive as it should be. |
|
[2011-06-19] 刺度恵守: Super. Lol i was expecting the clutchpad icon (button) to rotate while switching between apps ~(^o^)~ |
|
[2011-06-07] Rob: Greedy dev, in it for the money, no updates ever. 4 MONTHS SINCE AN UPDATE!!! Uninstalled |
|
[2011-05-28] nouseferaname: I liked it but it is a cpu hog. It significantly slowed down my galaxy s so I stopped using it. Its a good application, it just needs to be 'lighter'. |
|
[2011-05-26] Cheri: Very slow, and no refund grrr |
|
[2011-05-06] Richard: Can't get it to work, and dev not responding to my email. Disappointed after positive comments below about him. Will re rate when working |
|
[2011-04-24] the 4/25/2011 Although I have changed the settings, I.e. color, location, and actions, they don't actually change. And no, I'm not using the back button as save. |
|
[2011-04-22] Mike: Dev is awesome Even responded to my email while he was in the hospital with his new daughter, congrats dude! |
|
[2011-04-17] GEORGE: Dev responded asap and fixed. Excellent customer service. Great App. Multitasking a breeze. Love this App! |
|
[2011-04-14] GS: very useful. Save time. OGD with gingerbread. |
|
[2011-04-11] Zack Freedman: Can't uninstall. Don't get yourself into the same mess as me, stay away. |
|
[2011-04-04] Matthew: Love this app... was issue on tab but great support from Dev to fix the issue. Can not ask for more than that. Good program for soft shortcut key |
|
[2011-04-03] Zak Jones!: Neat idea, but it doesn't add any functionality to the phone. At all. Also, it's very slow to respond, even with my overclocked processor. |
|
[2011-03-26] Michael: Not very impressive that I had to uninstall before upgrading which loses settings. |
|
[2011-03-26] rckymtnrfc: Love this app but refunded. On Thunderbolt it causes a dead spot on touchscreen....in landscape mode it falls right on the letter Y. |
|
[2011-03-24] bahrtasai: Now supports launching custom app, & home replacements for home launcher(not just stock). Still hard to remap gestures sometimes but Worth buying. |

|
[2011-03-24] Neal: Works well on G2 - just make sure to uninstall older version to update. |
|
[2011-03-24] Zach: Great app but... Love this app. Love the way it's always there, love the customization and the look and feel. However, I noticed after a good week's worth of steady use that it really really made my devices lag. I've tried using it on both my HTC Magic (myTouch 3g running Cyanogen 6.1) and my Galaxy Tab (stock). It really impacted performance heavily on my tab. I had to uninstall for now. Hope to see some performance improvements in the near future! |
|
[2011-03-23] Michael: Am I missing something. I want to disable this on widgetlocker, how? Also, my favorites aren't showing when brought up and they are set....? |
|
[2011-03-22] Noah: Back in good graces after what is apparently the second rewrite. CPU time greatly reduced, ui is slicker, just works: DINC, Xoom. |
|
[2011-03-22] Amlex: Simply amazing. Seamlessly integrates and speeds up phone usage from one task to another. ★★★★★ |
|
[2011-03-21] Matthew: One of my top 3 used & recommended apps. An absolute must-have 4 all Android users. Functionality is amazing & dev is great & very responsive! Get it! |
|
[2011-03-20] Samuel: It's cool, should add options for animation speed, background opactity and a scrolling task list. Its slightly slow; better response times is a must. |
|
[2011-03-19] TheOxygenThief: I want to love it, for what it does is awesome. I happily paid. BUT WHY DOES IT HAVE TO KEEP MY CPU TICKING AT 85-100% IN IDLE? Help, @stevealbright! |
|
[2011-03-19] George: The easiest way to navigate around your phone. Dev is very responsive + helpful. |
|
[2011-03-16] ernesto: Functional HTC IVO 2.2 ☞ ⓔⓧ©ⓔⓛⓛⓔⓝⓣ ⓐⓟⓟ ⓗⓣ© ⓘⓥⓞ 2.2 ☜ if force close update 3, clear data por fix |
|
[2011-03-16] vfs2nd: Avoid this update! Force closes constantly, service starts and stops repeatedly, missing apps from favorites list, lost all prior settings! Droid X. |
|
[2011-03-15] Sparkimus: After playing with it for a day, I'm glad I bought it. Very solid. |
|
[2011-03-15] tesla: Excellent work! Fast access to everything you need |
|
[2011-03-15] Zephyr: REALLY hard to trigger, and swipes are almost impossible. Waiting for updates that hopefully fix this. |
|
[2011-03-15] Pauly, Jaro: This may absolutely be one of the BEST apps on market. Makes multi-tasking between many fav apps simultaneously smooth and easy! Love it on my Droid2! |
|
[2011-03-15] Trev: Fabulous application. I've placed my icon in the upper right corner for fast back/home/menu button actions. Thank You for writing such a great app. |
|
[2011-03-14] Anonymous: Excellent and great dev support. Highly recommended and thanks for the awesome update! |
|
[2011-03-14] Andrew: Laggy as hell. |
|
[2011-03-11] Lisa: Very well thought out. BUT..a little confusing. So many steps to take for creating shortcuts. Icons are small for swiping. Real nice app otherwise. |
|
[2011-03-04] Kelly: very neat concept though definitely need some work at the button doesn't always stay on top, pe v5.0.2 |
|
[2011-02-28] Michael: This will transform how you interact with your device |
|
[2011-02-27] ricky: Amazing dev support, works great on my xoom |
|
[2011-02-24] Ryan: Grey, are you kidding? It works great. Check your settings, There are a lot of great customizabled options. |
|
[2011-02-24] Nick: So far extremely slow Just bought this app and it's awesome re: the features but it's so slow its unusable. I have swiping up set to a list of favorite apps and it rarely brings up the box of apps I selected. It just doesn't do anything. It's extremely laggy/buggy and unless it's fixed I can't even use it. On Droid X. |
|
[2011-02-24] geomet: Good concept, but needs improvement. Would like to see visual feedback on button touch, as well as on swipe. E.g. pad should move with finger. |
|
[2011-02-20] Doc: Too "laggy" on a Droid. |
|
[2011-02-20] Tellas: Alot of potential but TOO MUCH LAG! Actions on the Surface Button need to be INSTANT! More stars when fixed. |
|
[2011-02-20] Rob: Very happy I found it! I have a Droid X which I like, but ... I hate having to click the physical buttons at the bottom. This app *almost* removes the need to click any of them, however not completely. I don't see an action that brings up settings for the current app, or one that works exactly like the "back" button. The Last App feature is great, but it does something a little different. Steve is this something you could add? In summary my request is to have 4 actions available which exactly duplicate the 4 buttons. |
|
[2011-02-19] Heliotrope: Wish it could launch custom shortcuts on action. 2 stars until then. Otherwise awesome. |
|
[2011-02-18] codesplice: Fabulous, useful app. And excellent support on the dev's forum. Looking forward to each new release! |
|
[2011-02-18] Fabian: Great app. Add support for android shortcuts and it's five stars. |
|
[2011-02-18] Cory: Needs a "system persistent"or something to keep android system from closing it all the time. Might just be my problem. Otherwise great app. |
|
[2011-02-18] krystan: Sluggish in response. It is quicker to just manually hold the home hard key. Fyi, you have only 15 minutes to return app... |
|
[2011-02-18] MuChawn: 5 star because developer is very prompt in responding to issues and willing to assist. Will keep and see what happens |
|
[2011-02-17] JonQ: Has lots of promise just needs to fix a few things. |
|
[2011-02-16] Matthew: Perfect for tablets (mine: NookColor). Well-supported with significant additions in updates. Request: Swipe to open an app; optional larger Swipe pad. |
|
[2011-02-15] Philip: To be honest, perfect choice after recent update |
|
[2011-02-15] TheOxygenThief: This is the best of many. Just like having Apphack on my old Palm! Monitors report average of 25% CPU use though. Happy to have paid, so it matures... |
|
[2011-02-13] Grey: This is okay as it is now, its a little slow. With some speed and functionality improvements I would rate higher |
|
[2011-02-13] Philip: Both dev and app are nice but I prefer using swipepad. It just doesn't recognize ADW is a launcher and treats it as last task. |
|
[2011-02-03] sheppy: With the 'invisible button' option this is my favourite task switcher, ever. Tap, bring a running task to foreground -lean and clean, near perfect. |
|
[2011-02-03] GS: perfect |
|
[2011-01-31] Ryan: Works great, nice update. Happy about the purchase. "Last task" works fine on G2. |
|
[2011-01-30] Peter: The "Last Task" feature does not work :(. Uninstalled. Evo |
|
[2011-01-29] Paul: Great app especially for beta!!! More features coming but could use task killing and ability to add chosen shortcuts. |
|
[2011-01-24] Craig: I really like where this is going. Works well enough for me to use, but looking forward to better swipe detection and features. Good value at $0.99 |
|
[2011-01-24] Jim: Pretty neat idea, saves wear and tear on the home button on my Cliq. |
|

|
[2011-01-22] Shane: Less features than free task switchers. Sidebar smart taskbar is 100x better and more customizable. Beta's should never cost anyway. Waste of .99$ |
|
[2011-01-22] ernesto: Functional HTC IVO 2.2 |
|
[2011-01-19] Jason Knox: Love the app, definitely a fair amount of room for improvement but no functionality issues whatsoever. Nexus one cyanogen 6 |
|
[2011-01-19] Lars: Changed the placement to top center and now i love it. Recommended. |
|
[2011-01-18] Edward: Would be great if you could change the color of the swipe icon to any color you want. |
|
[2011-01-13] Keith: The more I use it the more I love it. No more writing things down from one app to input in another. Just swipe back and forth. A++ |
|

[2011-01-08] MAYA: Works perfectly on glaxy tab |
|
[2011-01-08] karen: Works perfectly on glaxy tab |
|
[2011-01-06] Sudsy: Changing my comment... still like this but proving to be slower than the default long press home. Would love this app if it was quicker. |
|
[2011-01-06] Mike: Changing my comment... still like this but proving to be slower than the default long press home. Would love this app if it was quicker. |
|
[2011-01-06] Rasheed: Stopped working... fascinate |
|
[2011-01-04] Joss: Great app but still needs work with responsiveness. At times when I touch the tab it takes a while for the window to appear. |
|
[2011-01-04] Tim: This programs is tiiiits! Love it. Make more stuff |
|
[2011-01-03] Christopher: I looked at 5 different task switching apps and finally found what I wanted here! Runs great on my galaxy tab. Excellent |
|
[2011-01-02] John: on-screen location creates problems. doesn't open 80% of the time. save your money til of works better. I wish I had |
|
[2010-12-17] Tim: Great idea just doesn't pull up the recent app menu fast enough to use it over the old fashion way with the home button |
|
[2010-12-13] Crosling: Excellent light weight app. Just what I was looking for. trigger tricky to find on occasions. Possibly add option for color? |
|
[2010-12-05] Brandon: Takes too long to pop up quite often |
|
[2010-12-01] Brad H.: Nothing special at all |
|
[2010-12-01] Bradley: Nothing special at all |
|
[2010-12-01] Dusty: Great task switcher... most convenient yet! Buy and support the dev so more updates will come. |
|
[2010-12-01] Seth: Great app! So easy to use! Worth it! |
|
[2010-12-01] Big Dan: Not sure what Bradley's issue is...this app is awesome, best task switcher by far. Easy, simple, clean...would definitely recommend. |
|
[2010-12-01] denontechhelp: Been using it for 2 hours and am in love .. DX |
|
[2010-12-01] WiLL: HTC Incredible. Swipe to open Clutch would rock! Rotating the icon would be nice for left, top or bottom placement. Refunded. Prefer home button. |
|
[2010-11-30] calum: Just need to make the tab a little bigger, hard to get to it past my case |
|
[2010-11-30] Brian: Way to charge for a beta application. Ill stick with Googles implementation on 2.2 |
|
[2010-11-29] Robert Green: Very nice!! |
