## Description

Ever pulled your phone out of your pocket to find you&#39;ve accidentally called someone, started playing music, or opened a random app? PocketMode puts a stop to that.<br><br>Using your phone&#39;s built-in proximity sensor, PocketMode detects the moment your phone enters a pocket or bag and blocks all screen interaction. Take it out again and everything returns to normal - instantly, automatically, no fuss.<br><br>How does it work?<br>When active, PocketMode monitors your proximity sensor in the background. The moment you put the phone in your pocket a blocking overlay covers the screen. Take your phone up and the overlay disappears on its own.<br><br>Features<br>- Auto-enable when your screen locks<br>- Start automatically on device boot<br>- Optional protection on unlocked screens<br>- Adjustable delay before the overlay activates, to ignore brief triggers<br>- Configurable long-press duration to manually dismiss the overlay<br>- Completely dark overlay - optional label on screen<br>- Quick Settings tile for fast toggling<br>- Minimal design in light and dark mode<br><br>PocketMode does not collect, store, or transmit any data.
