## Description

Guardian Screen Lock sits invisibly over your game or other app, locking and dimming the screen to block accidental touches and preserve battery life.<br><br>But doesn&#39;t Android already do this? No, it does not. Some phone OEM&#39;s have custom utilities (such as Samsung Game Booster), but these are manufacturer-specific, not part of Android itself and therefore not available to other phone models. Guardian Screen Lock is not locked to any specific phone models.<br>___________________________________________________<br>KEY FEATURES:<br><br>- One-tap arm and disarm via Quick Settings tile<br><br>- Screen dimming with adjustable opacity — saves battery and protects OLED screens from burn-in<br><br>- Lock with screen fully visible — ideal for videos, fitness apps, recipes, and anywhere where visibility is required but touch input would be disruptive<br><br>- Secure unlock — biometric authentication protects your phone while your app runs<br><br>- Inactivity timer — lock manually or automatically <br>___________________________________________________<br>IDEAL FOR:<br><br>- Idle &amp; Auto-Farm Games — keep games running continuously without screen burn-in or pocket-taps<br><br>- Video &amp; Podcast Streaming — listen to long videos or streams without accidental screen touches<br><br>- Sleep &amp; Ambient Audio — play white noise or rain sounds overnight without a bright screen illuminating the room<br><br>- Fitness &amp; Navigation — track routes or follow recipes hands-free without screen timeouts<br><br>- Pocket &amp; Bag Storage — run background tasks safely while walking or traveling<br>___________________________________________________<br>MONETISATION: <br><br>14-day full featured free demo. After that, a one-off small payment to keep premium features. The core app continues to work regardless.<br>No ads, no subscriptions.<br>___________________________________________________<br>PRIVACY <br><br>No data collected of any kind. All settings stored locally.<br>App permissions are strictly functional and never used to track activity or harvest data
