CLUSTER PHONE-ANDROID-WHEN · 5 ENTRIES · EARLIEST ENTRY 2020-07-06

Proximity-based Android utilities

This cluster consists of Android utilities that use proximity or Bluetooth sensors to automate screen and call behaviors, such as turning the screen on with a wave, locking/unlocking via Bluetooth range, locking during calls, vibrating on call start/end, and answering calls when held to the ear. The dated history before the index is too thin (only 4 entries) to read a pattern from. The most active products by signal are WaveUp, Vibe, and Raise To Answer, each with 0 stars.

Each bar is the month a member carries, which is a creation date where the source published one and a crawl date otherwise. Nothing in the index was found before 11 August 2026, and coverage broadened sharply on 14–15 August, so a bar from then on reports how much we found that month, not how much was built; an earlier bar reports how far back a member's own source dated it — not how long we have been watching.

Two labels per entry, never collapsed into one: how it was built, and who stands behind it. Counted over the 5 listed below. Unlabelled means nothing has decided yet — not that the answer is small.

Ranked by traction, highest first, and paged 20 at a time — this is a window on the cluster, never the whole of it. Ties are broken by a stable id so a product cannot appear on two pages or fall between them. Browse every cluster.
