This app uses Accessibility services

Torchie requires a service to run in background to intercept PHYSICAL VOLUME BUTTON KEY presses. Since a normal 'Service' cannot intercept Hardware Key presses, an 'Accessibility Service' is needed for this purpose. It does not do anything apart from intercepting Volume Key presses! I promise!

ABOUT THE PERMISSION

"...Can observe the text you type and actions you do..."

Alas! It's threatening isn't it? Torchie needs permission to listen to your physical hardware (volume Button) Key presses only.

However if a phone has a physical keyboard, it is possible to intercept every key press (including Passwords etc). But, recent Android phones (except Blackberry Priv) have only three hardware physical keys i.e. one power button and two volume buttons. Actually, It is Android's flaw showing this buggy permission to you!

Also, Torchie does not have 'Internet Permission'. So it's impossible to send anything to anyone!

Torchie's source code is available here https://github.com/anselm94/Torchie-Android. You can go through every line of code!
