Description

Panels is the most customizable sidebar (edge screen) on the market!
Panels is a launcher on the edge of your screen that will change the way you use your phone. Our tool provides a quick access to your favorite apps, shortcuts, contacts and widgets. No more scrolling through the launcher pages, contacts and settings, simply swipe the edge screen. Boost your multitasking and increase productivity!

And the many ways to multitask is not all. Unlike other sidebar apps our edge screen has many features for you to customize.

Questions & Answers

Q: What is an APK File?

A: Just like Windows (PC) systems use an .exe file for installing software, Android does the same. An APK file is the file format used for installing software on the Android operating system.

Q: If I install an APK from this website, will I be able to update the app from the Play Store?

A: Yes, absolutely. The Play Store installs APKs it downloads from Google's servers, and sideloading from a site like ApkClean.net goes through a very similar process, except you're the one performing the downloading and initiating the installation (sideloading).
As soon as the Play Store finds a version of the app newer than the one you've sideloaded, it will commence an update.

Q: Why ApkClean.net can guarantee APK 100% safe?

A: Whenever someone wants to download an APK file from ApkClean.net, we'll check the corresponding APK file on Google Play and allow user download it directly (of course, we'll cache it on our server). If the APK file does not exist on Google Play, we'll search it in our cache.

Q: What are Android App permissions?

A: Apps require access to certain systems within your device. When you install an application, you are notified of all of the permissions required to run that application.

Don't hesitate to contact us if you have any questions or concerns.

User's Reivew

5 ★Excellent equivalent of Samsung side bar... Would love to see volume and brightness slider
4 ★Great app and so useful. I am removing one star because the app doesn't work on my Galaxy Fold device when the device is open/unfolded
5 ★Working on my new device.
5 ★Really, really good. A better version of Pie Control. Only thing I would like is for the panel to retract on it's own after some time period if not using the "swipe and hold" feature. Otherwise excellent. I bought the full version.
5 ★Great app. Bought and have used it for years.
4 ★Very good app, nearly perfect. Having quick actions one swipe away from any app is a godsend and makes my workflow a lot smoother. One request: being able to add regular widgets to App and Shortcuts panels. Floating widgets are great but they add too much friction. EDIT: I thought I'd be able to put shortcut widgets in a Widget panel but they're not available. Too bad panels differentiate their content more by form than features…
5 ★Very well engineered... It's just perfect!!... No bugs no flaws and highly manageable and customizable... Excellent!
5 ★Great app! Review changed. You are right. I had to scroll up to see the other options. 5 stars!
5 ★Amazing. Very customizable and makes the phone quicker and easier to use.
5 ★Excellent. Better than edge panels because of the floating widgets! Please support folding phones. This only works on the cover screen ☹️ Edit: Oh wait, it's possible. The instructions are kinda buried, and I thought I was looking for something mentioning folding phones. You just have to add a new panel when your phone is unfolded! 😁
