Commander 0.1.0 alpha 3

Commander 0.1.0 alpha 3

This alpha makes aliases easier to discover, adds direct Android Settings search, and improves Commander Hub reliability and organisation.

Play Protect notice: Commander is distributed directly through GitHub rather than Google Play. Play Protect may therefore describe the app as unknown or block installation. Commander also offers optional sensitive Android features such as Accessibility, notification access, contacts, SMS, and file access. Download only from this release, verify the attached SHA-256 checksum, and do not disable Play Protect globally. More information is available in the setup guide.

New in this build

• Added alias suggestions when a shared alias trigger is typed. Results include app and Tasker icons, keyboard navigation, and touch scrolling.
• Added a configurable Android Settings alias, saved as .set by default. With the trigger-swap option enabled, it appears as !set.
• Added searchable shortcuts to common Android Settings destinations including Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, battery, accessibility, notification access, default apps, keyboard, privacy, storage, and developer options.
• Added an optional web-search fallback when app search has no matches.
• Added touch long-press on app results to open Android App info.
• Added Finance and Tasks categories with dedicated Hub icons.
• Added Auto, Always, and Hidden visibility modes for every optional Hub tab.
• Reorganised Commander Settings into clearer feature categories.

Fixes and improvements

• Improved Hub summary detection so ordinary notifications used as Android group headers remain in their normal category.
• Improved incoming and outgoing message detection for supported messaging notifications.
• Fixed unread highlighting so closing Hub or dismissing one item does not mark every notification as read.
• Fixed keyboard navigation through long Hub and alias lists so the selected item remains visible.
• Improved spacing at the bottom of long Hub lists.
• Prevented the web-search fallback from triggering automatic single-result app launch.

Notes

• Hidden summary rows remain in Android's notification shade. Cancelling an Android group summary can also remove its individual notifications, so Commander hides summaries locally instead.
• Settings destinations use public Android intents where available. Unsupported destinations fall back to the main Settings screen.
• Automatic Hub categories are best-effort. Per-app category choices in Hub Manage always take priority.
