Securely lock your screen with one tap. No Internet access.

🔐 Why LockNow
• Instant Screen Lock — Tap the app icon and your screen locks immediately, using true Android device-admin functionality.
• Security First — Only the next unlock requires PIN / pattern/password. After that, during normal use, you can unlock via biometrics as configured on your device.
• No Internet Access — LockNow does not require or use any network permissions. It never sends data off your device. You can verify this in the app permissions on the Play Store (“has full network access” will not appear).
• Minimal Permissions — On first launch, LockNow asks for device admin access. That is the only special permission needed. It is used solely to enable “lock screen” capability. No camera, location, storage, contacts, or other sensitive permissions.

⸻

🚀 How It Works
1. First launch — You will be asked to grant device admin permissions. This is necessary so the app can lock the screen securely.
2. Lock Now — Whenever you tap the app icon, it issues a secure lock (just like pressing the power button and locking).
3. Unlocking — For the first unlock after locking, the system demands your strong credential (PIN / pattern / password). Once that’s done, biometrics work as per your usual device settings.

✅ For Your Privacy & Trust
• We do not collect, transmit, or store any personal data.
• No analytics, no tracking.
• Works entirely offline.

⸻

Secure your device, simplify your workflow, and reduce wear on your power button — safely and simply with LockNow.

⸻

Don’t forget: to use LockNow, you need to accept the device admin prompt when asked. That’s the only elevated permission, and the app will still show that its usage is limited to locking the screen.
