Lawnchair uses the AccessibilityService permission to enhance certain system functions, such as desktop gestures for turning off the screen. This feature is optional and will only prompt you for activation if necessary for your chosen configuration. Importantly, no data is collected through the AccessibilityService; it is used solely to perform system actions.
Additionally, Lawnchair employs the Device Administrator permission to lock the screen upon detection of a pre-selected gesture. This feature is also optional and is disabled by default.
