Quick Ring is a floating ✦ bubble that sits over every app. Tap it and the ring — a wheel of your apps — blooms, so you can open something without going back to the sky, your home screen. It is off to start, and it needs one permission: the right to draw over other apps.

Quick Ring is free — it is not a Gold feature.

Turn it on

  1. Open Settings › system.
  2. Turn on "✦ quick ring — the ring over any app".
  3. When asked, grant "display over other apps".

The bubble appears and stays on top of whatever you're using.

Use it

  • Tap the bubble to bloom the ring, then slide onto an app and lift to open it.
  • Drag the bubble to move it out of your way.

The ring here is for opening apps only — it has no add or edit dock, and no pinch-zoom. Once you open something or dismiss it, you return to the app you were in. Turning the toggle off removes the bubble.
