01

### A slider you can always reach

A floating volume slider on top of any app — no more reaching for the hardware keys.

![Floating Volume — Control it from the notification](https://al-mo.de/assets/mirror/FloatingVolume-output-02.png)

02

### Control it from the notification

Hide, show or stop the slider right from the notification shade.

![Floating Volume — Permissions, plainly listed](https://al-mo.de/assets/mirror/FloatingVolume-output-03.png)

03

### Permissions, plainly listed

The app asks for exactly what it needs — overlay, notifications, battery optimization — and explains each one.

![Floating Volume — Adapts as the volume changes](https://al-mo.de/assets/mirror/FloatingVolume-output-04.png)

04

### Adapts as the volume changes

Change the volume any other way and the slider follows, so it always shows the truth.

05

### Use it in any app

Floats above browsers, videos and games alike.
