Force Rotation

Force any app into portrait or landscape with smart rotation control

Force Rotation is a clever utility that gives you full control over how each of your apps behaves when the screen turns. Instead of relying on the system’s global auto-rotate setting, it lets you decide, app by app, whether they should stay locked in portrait, locked in landscape, or follow your preferred orientation rule.

The core idea is simple but powerful: you create a rotation profile for each app, and Force Rotation automatically applies it whenever that app is in the foreground. For everything else, a default profile takes over, so you never need to keep toggling rotation manually. This makes it especially useful for games, video players, reading apps, or tools that don’t support certain orientations natively.

The interface is straightforward, focusing on a clean list of installed apps and their associated settings. Even if you are not a power user, setting up profiles is intuitive and takes just a few taps. Once configured, the app quietly works in the background, using its permission to draw over other apps so it can enforce the requested orientation.

Because Force Rotation overrides what other apps expect, you may sometimes run into layout glitches or stretched content in poorly optimized software. This is not a fault of Force Rotation itself, but it is something to keep in mind if you force an app into a mode it was never designed for. The usage access permission is necessary so the tool knows which app is running, and in practice, it behaves responsibly, without intrusive behavior.

Overall, Force Rotation is a focused, efficient solution for users who are tired of fighting inconsistent rotation behavior. If you often wish certain apps would just stay in the orientation you prefer, this utility can quickly become an essential part of your setup.
