Latest update [menu]
v2.0(/1)_Alpha:
* Significant improvement in the UI controls, you should feel everything super snappy now.
* App drawer now supports fast scrolling.
* You can now adjust the placement of the hotspot to trigger Parallel Windows side bar - length, width, location (up/down/left/right.)
* A new panel is now available, \'RECENT ACTIVITY\' - whichever App you launch/mirror using Parallel Windows, goes here. This panel will have more additions in future - shortcut to launch multiple Apps, widgets etc.
Description [menu]
If you happen to be a fan of split-window mode in Android Nougat, there is a good chance that may find this nifty tools App that I have been working on.
What it does? 3 things as of now:
#1 Provide an onscreen shortcut to toggle split-screen
#2 Quickly launch any new App in split-screen mode through a floating mini App drawer.
#3 Mirror an App!
YES! You can run two Windows of an App, two windows of almost any App on a phone but MANY windows of an App on tablet, as seen on the screenshots.
The set of tools can be accessed by swiping from right edge of the screen.
IMPORTANT NOTES:
* The App is in 'Alpha' version, very 'experimental' in nature. Please keep that in mind while you review the App. Genuinely positive review will definitely fasten the development. ;)
* The current version of the App is designed ONLY for split-screen mode. However, there is no hard restriction placed, you can play around but expect bugs/unexpected behaviour if you use the App in
'picture-in-picture mode' or 'freeform mode'
* If you want to provide some detailed feedback or have query, consider posting onto this XDA Thread -

HAVE CONCERNS FOR THE ACCESSIBILITY PERMISSION?
This App requires two Accessibility Permissions, while they are sensitive, this App absolutely requires them by design to provide an balanced UX and Functionality. If you don't like/want to grant permission, please DO NOT DOWNLOAD and leave a negative review, may be some other App of mine in future will be built to your liking. :)
That being said, neither I nor the App has any interest in misusing the permissions, I am a recognized developer at xda-developers.com, I develop things out of interest and my enthusiasm towards technology. And it gives me great joy to see my App running on random users across the world, the App which took countless hours to build on my computer.
