How to launch your favorite apps from a sidebar on your Android screen with Glovebox
Making Android even more convenient for use is just one of the many ways the operating system can be customized and bent to your will. For example, creative developers have dreamed up or straight-up borrowed their own solutions for having your favorite apps on disposal at all times. The one we're about to show you, Glovebox, goes for the classic sidebar approach, a selection of shortcuts running along a drawer that you can easily pull up from the side of the screen and launch whatever it is that you need from there!

In addition to smoothly pulling off a sidebar, Glovebox is highly customizable and gives you pretty much everything you need to be able to use it the way you want it. You can position the sidebar's trigger anywhere along the display, custom order shortcuts, choose a specific theme to skin the bar with, use a blacklist to stop the sidebar from bickering with your gaming sessions, and that much more. Best of all, most of Glovebox's functionality comes free and doesn't require root or other modifications. Let's get going!
