- Open power menu (In App Button, Widget,Quick Launch Shortcut),
- Lock Screen (Widget,Quick Launch Shortcut),
- Take a screenshot (Quick Launch Shortcut),
- Toggle Split Screen (Quick Launch Shortcut),
The application only uses the accessibility permission for the sole purpose of supporting core functionalities listed above.

Please note that Accessibility service API is mandatory for Power Menu to function.

⚠️
Important
Please note that this app can't power on a device.
Due to physical restrictions, Android applications can't launch if the phone is OFF, so it is impossible to power on any phone with any Android app. This app is only designed to "Slow Down" the damage progress of the power button but not completely replace it. Usually, the crumbling of the power button is a long process. Before it is completely damaged, there may be a period when the power button has poor contact. You should use the app during this time, avoid unnecessary use of the physical buttons, and only use the physical button when necessary (such as when starting the phone). If your power button is already broken, it may be too late.
⚠️Please note that the screenshots, video tutorial displays the power menu of the android emulator; the actual power menu shown will be the default power menu of your particular device; it varies based on your device manufacturer and android version.
