SachBot

Android floating companion

Beta 0.5.4 — available to download for Android phones and tablets.

A website (even when installed) can't show a bubble over other apps. That needs a separate native Android app with your explicit permission. iPhone and iPad don't allow an equivalent floating bubble.

What it does

  • A small, draggable pink SachBot bubble that snaps to a screen edge — shown only after you allow “Display over other apps” and turn it on.
  • Tap the bubble: its mouth opens and a compact panel appears with Paste and Analyze. Close the panel, hide the bubble, or turn it off any time.
  • Share text or a screenshot to SachBot from any app. Screenshots are read on your phone.
  • Uses the same SachBot server as this website, over HTTPS. No AI keys are inside the app.

Permissions

  • Display over other apps — to draw the bubble. Asked only when you turn the bubble on.
  • Notifications (Android 13+) — shows the ongoing “SachBot is floating” notice with Hide / Turn off buttons.
  • Internet — to send the text you choose to check.

What it will never do

  • Read other apps' messages, use Accessibility Services to watch your screen, or capture screenshots on its own.

  1. Tap Download, then open the file. Android will ask to allow installs from your browser — allow it once.
  2. Open SachBot and tap “🫧 Float SachBot”. SachBot asks for each permission in turn (notifications, display over other apps, battery, and your phone brand’s floating-window/autostart screen) — allow each and press Back.
  3. The app goes to your home screen and the bubble appears at the screen edge — even after you close the app. Tap it for options, long-press it to check what you copied, and drag it to move.
Always on, even if your phone blocks the bubbleA “SachBot is active” icon stays in your notification bar — pull down and tap it to check a message. You can also add the “SachBot” tile to Quick Settings (pull down twice → edit ✎ → drag SachBot in).Bubble not showing outside the app?On Oppo/Realme/OnePlus: Settings → Apps → SachBot → allow “Floating windows”, and Battery → allow “Background activity” and “Auto launch”. On Xiaomi/Redmi/POCO, Vivo or OnePlus: in SachBot tap “Open phone settings” → Permissions / Other permissions → allow “Display pop-up windows while running in background” or “Floating window”. Set Battery to “No restrictions” and turn on Autostart.Beta notice: this early build is debug-signed and not from the Play Store, so Android may show a warning. It has not yet been tested on many devices. On iPhone/iPad and computers, use the floating bot inside this website or install the web app.
