About this app

Screen Lock, is created to extend the life of the hardware power button by using the feature within the app. Support for both Admin lock and Smart lock system. Easy to Screen off and lock the device depending on your selected preferences.

This app uses the Device Administrator permission. Necessary for the app to lock with Admin lock. Read write system settings permission to enable the Smart lock feature if needed.

This app uses Accessibility service. It is optional for only Android 9 and above. Used only for taking advantage of the internal Screen Lock option to overcome the delay in the Smart lock feature.

One tap to off and lock the device using:
☞ Admin lock (Shortcut)
☞ Smart lock (Shortcut)
☞ Screen lock widget
☞ Admin lock and Smart lock from notification
☞ Floating widget

Screen lock using available device sensors for both lock and wakeup feature:
☞ Flip cover
☞ Air swipe
☞ Desk option
☞ Awesome shake

Usability enhancements:
☞ ‘Movement listener’ option for a distraction-free reading experience.
☞ ‘On home screen’ for easygoing.
☞ ‘Pause on landscape’ to play games effortlessly.
☞ ‘Pause on call’ to let the device follow its default course of action.

Personalisation features:
Animations to pick for Phone lock experience. Vibration feedback upon Phone locked. Lock and unlock sound at varied points to play the tone you love to hear. Sound volume is picked from notification sound as volume and can be further adjusted with ease, also respecting DND mode.

Highly customisable lock icon with an easy-to-use interface. Option to use Metallic and Material icon as a choice for both Admin lock and Smart lock.

Animation speed is adjusted with the “Transition animation scale," and “Animator duration scale”. Our advice, use 1x for the best ‘Screen Off’ experience. The changes may take place after lock and unlock.

Note 1: Device administration must be disabled before uninstalling.

Note 2: Disable default device lock and unlock sound, if applying from this app.

Any suggestions for improving the Screen Lock app are most welcome. We’ll do our best to present you desired usage experience.

The app is lite. It works well with fingerprint sensor. However, some fucntions should be improved: - it takes too long to fully turn off screen (3-10 secs as advertised). During this process, I CAN'T do anything, even press power button. It should be about 1-3secs. - I think it hasn't been supported for 19:9 ratio screen so far, at least on my Nokia 6.1 plus. Hopefully it will be improved in next updates.

This is the first flip cover lock I've found which will unlock with fingerprint. At first the app was disabling frequently and I had to go back into settings to re-enable it (see below). The app config is comprehensive, but a little confusing. UPDATE: Thanks to author for prompt support. The reason the app was disabling is that the system kills idle apps for battery saving. This is overcome by changing a system Setting. The app now works perfectly.

This is a great app. Turning the screen off when charging or closing the cover is great. Smart lock integration is very nice... So I'm modifying my review after a few more weeks of testing. Turns out my proximity sensor in my S7 Edge is just very sensitive. The app is working fine, it's just my phone. I've saved so much battery time because of this app. Serious thumbs up.

Thanks for sharing. 😇 Please identify in which situation it's happening and email. I guess proximity sensor is getting triggered accidentally while using the device. Often happens while in a hurry. 🧐
