Apps That Stay Put

Your phone's auto-rotation doesn't know what you're doing. It doesn't know which app you're in or what orientation it should be. It just guesses based on gravity — and it gets it wrong constantly.

🛏️

Lying in bed

You're on your side. Your phone is sideways relative to the ground. The screen picks landscape — wrong for your game, wrong for your puzzle, wrong for everything.

🛋️

On the couch

Lying back, phone above you, tilted at whatever angle is comfortable. Your body is 90 degrees from vertical — every orientation decision the phone makes is wrong.

🚶

Walking & on the go

Glance down at your phone at the wrong angle and it's in the wrong orientation. Your arm position shouldn't dictate how your app displays.

🔄

Stuck in landscape

Watch one video and now everything is sideways. Your game renders in a quarter of the screen. Getting back to portrait feels like a negotiation.

Accessibility

For people who hold their phone at non-standard angles — mounted, one-handed, or with assistive devices — gravity-based orientation is just wrong.

🤢

The animation itself

That 0.3-second lurch where everything reshuffles. It's not a feature. It's vertigo in your pocket.

Why not just use the built-in rotation lock?

Because it only locks to portrait. That's fine for some apps — but what about a video player that should always be landscape? The system lock can't do that. It's one setting for every app, with no way to say "this app should be portrait, that app should be landscape."

OL apps are different. Each one is purpose-built for its correct orientation. Games stay portrait. Video stays landscape. No system toggle. No compromises. Just apps that stay put.
