About this app

About:
The Fake Power Off application convincingly simulates device shutdown using a subtle animation, effectively deterring unauthorised access without actually powering off the device. It may seamlessly be integrated with anti-theft apps and remains effective even when the device is locked.

Accessibility Service API Usage:
This app uses the Accessibility Service API to detect when the power menu is opened and to override it with a custom fake power menu. The Accessibility Service API is used solely for this purpose to provide the core functionality of the app. The app does not change user settings without permission, work around Android built-in privacy controls and notifications, or change the user interface in a deceptive manner. The app does not use the Accessibility Service API for remote call audio recording.

Open Source:
The app is open source, and the code is available on GitHub at https://github.com/BinitDOX/FakePowerOff. We ensure transparency and welcome users to review the code.

Demo Video:
A demo is available on youtube at: https://www.youtube.com/shorts/NDdwKGHlrnw

changed the keyword to medical info and when I swipe down from notification bar it goes off then when I click the menu to power it off it does that but if I hold the power button it pops up the menu not soo secret power off (the older version of the app dident have that issue) and whenever I need to use it I remove my password and just have none because when I try to get in with the app running the menu constantly pops up and blocks me from putting in my password please fix!

Hi, thanks for the review. Under the advanced settings you can setup custom keywords so the fake menu wont be triggered on false positives. Your lock-screen probably has some keywords like 'shutdown' or 'power' or 'emergency' on the UI which triggered the menu. So you can set a keyword which only your og power menu has like 'restart' or 'reboot'.

Was hoping holding the power button down for like 2-3 seconds the fake power off icons would come up. Considing holding down the power button for 5 seconds would actually shut it off. This does not work all like that. It's useless and when you lock the screen, you got the fake shut down icons popup it's annoying and frustrating when it's preventing you from accessing your phone. Stay well away from this app people. It's not worth it.

Thank you for your feedback! The app detects the original shutdown menu and then overrides it, so it only activates when that menu is detected. If the original menu isn’t detected, it won’t trigger. Unfortunately, the power button press cannot be directly detected by apps due to system restrictions. I’ll work on improving the experience.

Hello, thanks for your review. The default sequence is UUDD, it's mentioned in the settings under the 'Power off dismiss sequence'. Also, a mobile device WILL and SHOULD power off within a minute of holding the power button.
