Pocket Mode

About this app

Ever pulled your phone out of your pocket to find you've accidentally called someone, started playing music, or opened a random app? PocketMode puts a stop to that.

Using your phone's built-in proximity sensor, PocketMode detects the moment your phone enters a pocket or bag and blocks all screen interaction. Take it out again and everything returns to normal - instantly, automatically, no fuss.

How does it work?
When active, PocketMode monitors your proximity sensor in the background. The moment you put the phone in your pocket a blocking overlay covers the screen. Take your phone up and the overlay disappears on its own.

Features
- Auto-enable when your screen locks
- Start automatically on device boot
- Optional protection on unlocked screens
- Adjustable delay before the overlay activates, to ignore brief triggers
- Configurable long-press duration to manually dismiss the overlay
- Completely dark overlay - optional label on screen
- Quick Settings tile for fast toggling
- Minimal design in light and dark mode

PocketMode does not collect, store, or transmit any data.
