Hey everyone,
My phone's volume buttons started getting flaky, and I got tired of digging through system settings just to change the volume. So I built an app that puts a floating volume button on screen that works over any app.
What it does:
- A small floating button sits on top of everything — tap it to get the volume slider, double tap to mute, long press for +/− controls
- You can have up to 5 buttons on screen at once, each controlling a different audio stream (media, ring, alarm, notification, call)
- Slide up/down on a pinned button to adjust volume without opening anything
- Swipe left/right to cycle between audio streams
Customization is pretty deep:
- 7 button shapes (circle, square, rounded square, diamond, pentagon, hexagon, pill)
- 37 color presets plus full RGB/hex custom colors
- Gradient backgrounds, adjustable borders, opacity control
- Animated volume indicator ring around the button
- Choose between an animated icon or a live volume percentage number
- Auto-hide with configurable delay
- Every gesture is remappable — assign any action to single tap, double tap, or long press
Other stuff:
- Quick Settings tile to toggle it on/off
- Share your button style with others using compact theme codes (copy/paste a short string)
- 9 languages: English, Spanish, Portuguese, German, French, Hindi, Japanese, Korean, Chinese
- Material You theming on Android 12+
- Works on Android 8.0+
I built it with Kotlin, Jetpack Compose, and Lottie animations. No ads, no tracking beyond basic Firebase crash reporting.

Would love to hear what you think or if you have feature suggestions. Happy to answer any questions about the implementation too.
