An Android accessibility tool for people who can’t rely on the system-wide auto-rotate toggle — Vestibular Disorders, Motor Impairments and Low-Vision users who need a specific orientation, app by app.
Unwanted rotation can trigger nausea or vertigo. AspectWise lets you keep your phone locked to portrait everywhere, while still allowing the few apps that need to rotate (maps, video) to do so.
For users for whom Android’s system auto-rotate toggle is too fiddly to operate every time they switch app, AspectWise removes the toggling entirely — the right orientation just happens.
Magnification and reading aids often need a specific orientation to be usable. AspectWise locks each app to the orientation your assistive setup expects, every time you open it.
Lock Kindle to landscape. Keep Messages portrait. Let Maps auto-rotate when you tilt for sat-nav. AspectWise honours your choice the moment you open the app.
A foreground service keeps the rule engine alive across hours and days, surviving Android’s aggressive battery optimisers. Boot-restart support means you never have to re-open the app.
No analytics, no telemetry, no ads, no account. Your rules stay on your device. We don’t see what apps you’ve added, what rotation you’ve chosen, or how often you use them.
AspectWise is declared as an accessibility tool. It uses Android’s AccessibilityService API for one purpose only: to detect when you switch between apps, so it can apply the right orientation for that app. The service is configured with canRetrieveWindowContent="false" — it cannot read your screen content, intercept your input, or automate any UI action. Your data never leaves your device.
AspectWise was designed from the ground up to ensure your data never leaves your device. No sign-ups, no adverts, no analytics — just an accessibility tool that respects you and your phone.
