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.

P.S. for power users:
Other apps (like Tasker) can broadcast locking, unlocking, and toggling Toch Blocker via these broadcast actions:
com.nightlynexus.touchblocker.ACTION_START_BLOCKING_TOUCHES
com.nightlynexus.touchblocker.ACTION_END_BLOCKING_TOUCHES
com.nightlynexus.touchblocker.ACTION_TOGGLE_BLOCKING_TOUCHES

Ratings and reviews

App works as intended and seems nicer than similar apps. Tried to get the tasker events set up to control brightness on lock but I failed. That's probably a me problem though. Would love to see some brightness controls get added for idle game players. It would be nice to dim the screen on lock and restore on unlock similar to Samsung Touch Protection. There really isn't an equivalent for non-samsung users.

Good app. It does what it's supposed to do. Can you add one more feature. Make the unlock button to go invisible until tapping the screen a number of times (to be decided by user). This would make it a lot better.

this app is very useful whose photo is doing ghost touch anytime bcz if ghost touch is anytime you can't do anything but this app help me to watch videos on yt ik there are some issues to watch videos but its better to have than nothing so ya i managaed to rate this app and you all should install this app this app is just like blessings and i also recommend touch screen repair and touch screen calibration bcz in minutes nothing change but in 1-2 weeks your phone is too good than before
