This app should be standard in every smart phone. Often at night I would turn off my screen and forget to charge the phone. Now when I turn off the screen, I see a battery percent reminder and I immediately put my phone on charge. Only problem was that it took a long time of searching to find this app on playstore. Need to use more key words like "battery reminder".

Yes, this is exactly what I was looking for. Screen off without device administrator permission. So you can unlock with your fingerprint... Thanks

This is exactly what I was looking for to turn off the screen (saving the battery) while allowing the device's auto-lock timeout to delay the lock for a few extra minutes. Thank you!

So far so good. But the new update "lock recent button" doesn't work on my A5 2017 device.

I loved it...IFFFFF I can get this to work properly with Google Assistant shortcuts. Since the name of the icon to turn off the screen starts with the same name as the settings for the app it causes confusion. Could you please make a version so that the app activation part has a different name? With that, this will be the perfect app. Otherwise, I'm trying to get a refund processed.

Dude. You dont even know how happy i am lol. I usually limit my physical touches to the power button. Exactly what i need for my new Note 9. Just one thing, is there anyway you can redesign the app icon so it looks so modern hahaha. Love you already

About this app

This app temporarily sets an ultra short screen timeout to make screen turn off without explicitly locking the device. The lock screen will activate according to your device settings. This technique does not interfere with Smart Lock, Fingerprint or other biometric unlock methods.
 
BENEFITS
► Fingerprint or iris scan stays operational no fall back to pin / password (Samsung S6, S7, Note 5, S8, Note 8)
► Does not affect Smart Lock
► No Device administrator setting = Trouble free uninstall
► Also works with always-on / edge display
► No root needed
► It's not just a black screen → Screen turns off or always-on-display kicks in
► Screen off no lock
► Screen off without lock
► No ads
► No unnecessary other functions: small file size, small price
 
Many other screen-off apps also lock your device. The next time you try to unlock the device you will get this or a similar message: "Draw pattern instead of using Fingerprint recognition because of security policy". My app is a workaround, because it does not lock your device directly.
 
OPTIONS
► Set screen timeout (0-20sec, or minimum allowed on your device)
► Select screen off transition effect
► Two launcher icon variants → please watch https://youtu.be/fb5cwEjeV2Q
► Show or hide reminder text
► show time while turning off
► "ON" button on Samsung Always On Display (Nougat)
► NEW: show battery reminder, date, week number in the timeout period
► Helps you notice if your battery needs to be charged
► NEW: optionally disable all hardware buttons during the timeout: home, back, recents - use screen button to interrupt
 
USES
► Spare your power button
► Turn off your screen using an icon on your home screen
► Call it from other apps (e.g. Tasker, MacroDroid etc) → https://youtu.be/q5AAQAxcX3Y
► Assign it to gestures (e.g. swipe/double tap in Apex, Nova Launcher etc)
► Add it to your notifications using AppDialer or similar apps
► Call it via voice command (Google Now or S Voice etc.)
► Add it to the Apps edge on Samsung Galaxy S6 / S7 Edge (see screenshot)
► NEW: Nougat Tile support → add to shortcut bar in notifications
► Let me know if you find other uses
 
TROUBLESHOOTING
If the screen doesn't stay off and comes back on after a few seconds, please adjust the Timeout value. On the Nexus 6P a setting of about 7 seconds is reported to work well. LG phones need a setting of 15sec or longer. Please experiment using the on-screen-power button to test.
 
Please email me if you have any questions or problems with the app. I respond very quickly. Since there is no trial version I give unconditional refunds within a week of purchase.

Samsung Galaxy S9 and S9+
I received multiple reports of the app not working properly on the new Samsung phones. I tested it and it worked OK for me. Of course I cannot test every version of the S9 so please email me if you have any problems, I will give you a full refund.
 
NEW OPTIONS IN 2.11
► Options to show date, week number and battery
► Option to add cancel button (tap screen to reveal, press X on top to interrupt screen off)
► Translated to 5 languages
