## Description

Touch Lock is a powerful Chrome extension designed to enhance your video and music viewing experience by disabling screen touch and hiding buttons when any video player is active. Perfect for parents, it offers a child lock feature that prevents accidental interruptions during toddlers' video time, ensuring they remain securely within the video streaming app.

Additionally, Touch Lock allows users to listen to music with the screen effectively turned off when covered, enabling uninterrupted playback while your device is safely tucked away. Key features include a floating lock icon for easy touch input control, the ability to unlock via fingerprint or pattern, and premium options such as unlimited lock duration, shake-to-lock/unlock functionality, and the ability to hide the unlock button completely.

## Review summary

Reviews show Touch Lock is valued for its core usefulness and several activity-based use cases (running, biking, keeping the screen on). However, reliability is a major issue, with settings resetting, security bypass risks, an intrusive floating button, and frequent malfunctions. Additional frustration comes from paywalls/limits and reduced features. Overall, it has potential but requires significant fixes to be dependable.

### Pros

- Very useful app and widely regarded as essential in its category.
- Helpful for workouts/running by letting you lock apps during activity.
- Can keep the screen on in some setups (e.g., Wakey) to avoid interruptions.
- Effective for maps/navigation use on a bike to prevent accidental touches.
- When it works, users describe it as good or the best in its class.

### Cons

- Settings get lost/reset every few months, forcing reconfiguration.
- Security vulnerability: the notification bar or system settings can bypass the lock.
- Floating button is intrusive and cannot be hidden or customized.
- Unreliable/not consistently functional; many reports of it not working or malfunctioning.
- Restrictive features: paywalls, 5-minute limits, crippleware, or removal of pin-lock support.
