Unlimited no. of custom multi-swipes gestures (single tap supported). Use gesture to open apps, app shortcuts (e.g. Contacts + someone), perform System functions (Back, Home, Lock screen, ...) and Special functions (open built-in App Launcher, App Switcher, Capture screen,...). Each gesture can contain up to 10 different swipe directions and each swipe can even optionally short or long (shown in green color) distinguishable. This app uses Accessibility services to provide functions such as Back, and uses the Device Administrator permission to lock the device.
