Shake is a Flutter package that detects when a user shakes their device, enabling interactive features based on motion. It allows customization of the G-force threshold for detecting shakes and sets a reset period to prevent repeated triggers. Designed for Android, iOS, and Web platforms, it integrates seamlessly into apps requiring gesture-based interactions. The package is lightweight and efficient, ideal for triggering actions like undoing an operation, refreshing content, or activating hidden menus through physical movement.
