About this app

📱 Soft Lock Screen – Save Your Power Button

Lock your phone screen instantly with just one tap. This app lets you lock your device without using the physical power button, helping reduce wear and extend its lifespan.

🔘 Why use this app?
The power button is one of the most frequently used buttons on your phone. Over time, repeated use can cause it to become less responsive or stop working. This app provides a simple and reliable alternative.

⚡ Simple and fast
Just tap the app icon and your phone screen will lock immediately. No complicated setup and no extra steps.

🧩 Home screen widgets
The app includes three different widget variants so you can choose the size that best fits your home screen. Add a small, medium, or large widget and lock your phone with a single tap, without opening the app.

🎯 Designed for everyday use
The app is lightweight, easy to use, and runs only when you need it. There are no unnecessary background processes.

👥 Perfect for many users
This app is useful for devices with damaged or hard-to-press power buttons, users who want instant screen locking, and anyone who wants to extend the life of their power button.

🔒 Permissions and privacy
This app uses device administration or accessibility permissions only to perform the screen lock function. No personal data is collected, stored, or shared.

Ratings and reviews

Disabling biometrics is a feature not a bug! I am using this app together with Good Lock, so that some fingers unlock the phone normally, but other fingers immediately re-lock it by running this app, which disables biometrics. If I am coerced into unlocking, I can lock down my phone this way. The really good thing is that biometrics are only TEMPORARILY disabled. You don't have to re-enable them if you lock the screen some other way (power button, or double tap on home screen background).

People say fingerprint reader won't work if using this app. That is true because this app uses the security lockdown option. But if you want to quickly and securely lock your phone with one button or reach over and tap it while it's on the table, this app will do it

A very simple and effective app that does exactly what it is supposed to do, lock the screen. I have paired it with the Move To Unlock app for unlocking the device. Together, these two apps work more reliably for device locking/unlocking than did several apps I have tried that do both.
