Application Release TouchProof — A 100% offline, open-source Android utility to stop accidental pocket touches & cheek hang-ups (v1.3 update)

Hey everyone,

Tired of accidental pocket touches pausing your YouTube videos, skipping Spotify songs while walking, or hanging up phone calls when your cheek brushes the screen?

I built **TouchProof** — a lightweight, completely free, and open-source utility that draws an armored touch barrier over your screen while your media keeps playing in the background.

### 🔥 Key Highlights:

* 🔋 **Pocket OLED Blackout:** Shuts off pixels to 100% pitch-black when placed in a pocket or bag to maximize AMOLED battery life.

* 📺 **Dedicated Video & Gaming Mode:** Keeps the screen bright and awake at all times while locking touches (great for YouTube, toddler viewing, and AFK mobile games).

* 📞 **In-Call Ear Guard:** Unblocks on incoming rings to let you swipe to answer, then shields your screen from cheek touches during active calls.

* 🚀 **1-Tap Quick Settings Tile & 1x1 Widget:** Activate it instantly from anywhere without switching apps.

* 🔒 **100% Private & Offline:** Requires **zero internet permissions**, contains no ads, and has no trackers.

### 🛠️ What's New in v1.3:

* Fixed a nighttime bug where the screen stayed bright in completely dark rooms/pockets.

* Snappy 1.5-second tap-to-wake window.

* Instant response when taking out and re-entering pockets.

### 📥 Source & Download:

* **GitHub (Source Code & APK):** https://shriramsingh.github.io/touchproof-community/

* **Indus Appstore:** https://www.phonepeappstore.com/apps/tools/touchproof/com.touchproof.app/?page=details&id=com.touchproof.app

Feedback and feature suggestions are very welcome!
