This app uses the Accessibility API to provide features that interact with the UI, intercept key presses, take screenshots, read “toast” messages, determine foreground app and capture fingerprint gestures.

This app uses the Device Administrator permission to provide features that check for failed login attempts and engage screen lock.

Ratings and reviews

I was looking for an alternative to Samsung Modes and Routines since there is a cap of 50 routines. This is the replacement I was looking for. No ads, no premium features so far, great UI, and very powerful. Also, it is very easy to use if you have programming experience. My only two complaints so far are that the await time cards should display the day off the week when that's the only thing set, and that the setting wallpaper card should allow you to crop the image.

Unfortunately trying to figure out how to do anything on this is a headache. I wanted to find out a way to make the app automatically turn on/off my DNS setting but trying to navigate anything on this is impossible, it either just straight up isn't there or I have to navigate through 20 different blocks hoping one of them has anything related to that. Turns out, they don't, the only thing I've been able to find is related to the DNS ip address which isn't what I need. Bare bones is all 🤷‍♂️

It does the thing on my phone where the app appears to be only able to be "deactivated" instead of uninstalled (based upon the playstore options as I don't want to uninstall. The developer's response provides insight), but despite this, this app is the type of extension I wish was on smart phones by default. Programming can be a little technical and difficult to understand at first, but the freedom you are given to program in simple "apps" makes me realize how limited smartphones really can be.
