Double-Tap Brightness

Toggle display brightness by double-tapping the background.

Hide Status Bar

Remove the Android status bar for a cleaner look.

Notification Listener

Required to read incoming notifications from Android and display badge counts on app icons. Without this, notification indicators won't work. Grant it in Settings > Notification Access.

System Settings

Required for the double-tap brightness toggle. Katapult needs write access to system settings to change screen brightness. Grant it in Settings > Apps > Katapult > Modify System Settings.

Package Access

Required to query all installed apps and display them in the grid. Also used to trigger the Android uninstall dialog from the app context menu.

Call Log & SMS (Mudita Kompakt only)

The Mudita Phone and Messages apps don't post Android notifications, so badges won't appear via the notification listener. To show missed call and unread SMS counts on these apps, Katapult reads the call log and SMS databases directly. These permissions are only requested on Mudita Kompakt devices.
