About this app

Do you hand your smartphone to your child, then set this timer which force-locks when it runs out. So your child has to hand it you back because the phone and screen are lock.

This light utility app allows users to set a timer to lock phone and screen regardless of default system setting and whether user actively using or not. It will enforce entering password when the time is out.

To start, cancel or modify are protected by the default password to prevent "smart kids" to overwrite it.

This app uses the Device Administrator permission. This permission is required to allow app to lock the screen when the time runs out.

App widget added allows screen-lock at the touch of finger. Try adding widget to your shortcuts.

Ratings and reviews

Exactly what I was looking for, i like watching streams when I go to sleep but it would drain my battery. With this I can set it to automatically lock itself. Really good if you want to listen to white noise until you fall asleep on YouTube without having your phone play hours on end until it dies. You can combine this with anything, this is the use I found.

Really handy when it works but only the slider function working for me. Slider is limited to 100 minutes & I prefer longer time periods. Developer is aware of issue & is trying to find solution so I added a star for his effort.

⚠️ Warning! This app uses special administrator permissions which make it trickier to uninstall. Also, the timer run automatically when you unlock your phone, and if you lock your phone manually, the timer still keeps running even though you're not using your phone.
