Touch Blocker: Disable Screen

Nightly Nexus

About this app

Touch Blocker can intercept touches, taps, swipes, gestures, and any other input on your screen, so you can leave your screen on without worrying about accidental input.

Listen to YouTube with your phone in your pocket. Leave a chart open on desk tablet.

Touch Blocker is the only app I know of that correctly and fully intercepts screen input to lock your screen on and avoid swipes, system navigation, and opening the notification shade.

Note that Touch Blocker uses the Accessibility APIs in Android to display a screen overlay. Touch Blocker will ask for this permission in the system settings when you open Touch Blocker. Touch Blocker does not collect or store any data and only uses this permission to display the overlay as necessary to function.

Touch Blocker is open source.

Ratings and reviews

I mean.... it does what it says, fairly well I might add. I've had it for a full day but I did stumble a bit with it's shortcut activation, you have to choose this as your Digital assistant app. I use this to play YouTube Music through my earphones while I'm at work with my phone in my pocket. All in all I recommend it

Good but is there a way I can activate this only during calls, hang up with the Power button (handled by system settings) and when the call ends disable it automatically? Thanks.

It's great, but I cannot make the icon disappear when unlocked(Edit: I do not own a pixel device)

What’s new

Add option to toggle touch blocking with the assistant button (long-press the power button on Pixel devices)
