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, S9, Note 9)
► 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 (0-30sec, or minimum allowed on your device)
► Select screen off transition effect

► "ON" button on Samsung Always On Display (Nougat and later)
► 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. automation apps) → https://youtu.be/q5AAQAxcX3Y
► Assign it to gestures (e.g. swipe/double tap in launchers)
► Add it to your notifications using notification shortcut apps
► Call it via voice command
► Add it to the Apps edge on Samsung phones (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 and Pixel phones 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.
REFUND
I cannot test every version of every phone 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
