Sensey is an Android library that simplifies sensor event handling and gesture detection, removing boilerplate for detecting gestures like shake, flip, proximity, and wave. It offers lifecycle-aware registration with callback and Kotlin coroutines/Flow APIs, including Compose integration.

Use cases

• detect shake gestures in my android app
• detect when the device is flipped face down
• use the proximity sensor to trigger actions
• detect wrist twist or chop gestures
• collect sensor gesture events as kotlin flow
• detect raise to ear or pickup device gestures

When to choose

• you need common device gesture detection on Android without writing sensor boilerplate
• you want lifecycle-aware or Compose-friendly sensor event streams
• you want a wide catalog of prebuilt gestures like shake, flip, tilt, and clap

When to avoid

• you need custom raw sensor data processing beyond the provided gestures
• your app targets platforms other than Android
• you need gesture recognition from camera or touch-screen input rather than hardware sensors
