SkipTrack: Volume Button Skip

Long-press your volume keys to skip tracks, without taking your phone out of your pocket.

SkipTrack turns your volume buttons into track controls: long-press volume up for the next track, long-press volume down for the previous one. A short press still changes the volume exactly as it always did.

Works with the screen on and with the screen off, including on the lock screen. Phone in your pocket, on the charger, in your hand: one long press and the track changes. Free, no ads, no account, and it works entirely offline.

WHEN YOU USE IT

• Driving: keep your eyes on the road

• Cycling, running, at the gym: the phone stays put

• Cooking, cleaning, working with your hands

• In the shower, when the screen cannot be touched

• Any time unlocking your phone for one "next" feels like too much

HOW IT WORKS

• Long-press VOLUME UP: next track

• Long-press VOLUME DOWN: previous track

• Short press: normal volume, nothing changes

• A small haptic tick confirms every skip

WORKS WITH YOUR MUSIC APPS

SkipTrack talks to any player with a media session, so it works with Spotify, YouTube Music, Poweramp, VLC, Musicolet, Samsung Music, Amazon Music and the rest.

PRIVACY

SkipTrack uses Android's Accessibility API for one job only: detecting long-presses on your physical volume buttons. It intercepts key events only. It never reads your screen, your notifications, or any content from other apps. No personal data is collected, stored, or shared, and there is no analytics and no tracking.

GOOD TO KNOW

• If nothing is playing, there is nothing to skip

• Some phones (Xiaomi, Samsung, OnePlus and others) ship their own "long-press volume to skip" feature. If skips do not register, turn that built-in feature off so SkipTrack gets the buttons

• Battery impact is negligible: it listens for key events, nothing else

SETUP

Enable the accessibility service, allow media session access, and you are done. The app walks you through each step and shows exactly what each permission is for.

Stop doing the pocket ritual every couple of songs. Long-press and move on.
