Google Play rejected the app because the store listing did not document the app's use of the AccessibilityService API. Add a dedicated paragraph to the long description explaining that the service is used only to open the notification shade via a swipe gesture, reads no screen content, and is optional and disabled by default.
Reword the AccessibilityService disclosure to lead with the optional, user-facing feature (swipe to open notifications) rather than the API, and emphasise that the feature is off by default and never required.

Summary

Details
This change improves transparency with users about the app's use of the Accessibility Service permission, which is a sensitive permission on Android. The description now clearly explains the purpose and limitations of this service usage, helping users make informed decisions about enabling the gesture feature.
