About TapTap

TapTap is an open-source Android project that ports the double-tap-on-back gesture from Pixels running Android 12 to Android 7.0+ devices. You can assign actions to double or triple taps on the back of the phone, such as launching an app, toggling the flashlight or running a Tasker task. The device must have an accelerometer and gyroscope. The source is on GitHub and can be built in Android Studio.
