## What it is
Tap, Tap is an Android app that ports the Pixel's double-tap-on-back gesture to any Android 7.0+ device with an accelerometer and gyroscope. It offers 50+ configurable actions triggered by double or triple taps, with condition-based gating and adjustable sensitivity via trained ML models.

## Use cases
- double tap the back of my phone to toggle the flashlight
- launch the camera by tapping the back of my device
- simulate back button press with a back tap gesture
- run a Tasker task by double tapping my phone
- port Android 12 Quick Tap gesture to older Android devices
- trigger different actions depending on which app is open
- triple tap back of phone to launch a shortcut

## When to choose
- you want the Pixel back-tap gesture on a non-Pixel or pre-Android-12 device
- you need gesture actions gated by context like screen state or foreground app
- you use Tasker and want tap gestures as triggers

## When to avoid
- your device lacks an accelerometer or gyroscope
- you only need Android 12+ native Quick Tap and own a compatible Pixel
- you want to toggle deep system settings, which is better handled via Tasker
