A Quick Action Ball that gives fast access to controls —volume, brightness, lock
About this app
A floating ball that provides quick access to system functions like volume, brightness, and screen lock. The ball stays visible over all apps and automatically hides on the lock screen.
Features: - Quick Actions: Access volume, brightness, and lock screen controls instantly - Always Visible: Floating ball appears over all apps when unlocked - Smart Positioning: Remembers last position after screen unlock - Auto-Hide: Automatically hides on lock screen and shows on unlock - Draggable: Touch and drag to move anywhere on screen - Auto-Snap: Snaps to screen edges when released
Security Note: QuickBall requires Accessibility and Modify System Settings permissions to function. These permissions are used only for the floating ball functionality, system actions, and controlling screen brightness. The app does not access, store, or monitor any personal data.

Tap "Install" and wait for installation to complete
Launch the app from your home screen
Make sure to re-enable Unknown Sources restrictions after installation for security.
How to install this safely
How to verify the file you downloaded
Before you install anything, confirm the file is the one described here. On a computer, run shasum -a 256 your-download.apk (macOS or Linux) or certutil -hashfile your-download.apk SHA256 (Windows), then compare the output character-for-character with the SHA-256 on this page. If a single character differs, the file is not the build we recorded — delete it.
What the signing certificate proves
Every Android app is signed with a private key that only its developer holds. The fingerprint on this page is a hash of the matching public certificate, and it proves continuity rather than identity: it tells you a build came from whoever signed the earlier ones. Android enforces this at install time — if a package claiming to be io.github.chayanforyou.quickball is signed with a different key, the system will refuse to install it over your existing copy. A fingerprint that changes between releases is worth pausing on, because a repackaged app that has been modified by someone else cannot keep the original signature.
How to roll back to an earlier version
If the current release misbehaves, 4.3.1 is the last build before it. Android will not install an older version code over a newer one, so you must uninstall Quick Ball first — which clears its local data unless you have a backup. Reinstall the older APK only if its signing fingerprint matches the build you already trust, and check the API range: an older release may target an Android version your device has moved past.
Why we list sources instead of hosting everything
The official store channel is almost always the right choice: it updates automatically and carries the publisher's own distribution guarantees. A direct APK is useful when a device has no store access, when a rollout has not reached your region, or when you need a specific version — and only when the publisher has authorized that copy. APKBrowse does not list pirated, cracked, or unauthorized rebuilds of Quick Ball, and a listing is removed when the evidence for it stops holding up.

Permissions Required
What each permission lets Quick Ball do. A highlighted one is worth a second look — not necessarily wrong, just worth asking whether this app needs it.
Previous Versions
The signing certificate fingerprint for this release is on record, so a build that does not match it did not come from this publisher.
