RadiusLocker: Secure your phone when it leaves you APK Description
RadiusLocker is a free security app that automatically locks your phone when your smartwatch falls out of connection range, and then temporarily disables Smart Lock features (face, voice, fingerprint, etc) until you've next entered your PIN. You can also manually trigger a mode to constantly require your PIN before you enter a sticky situation, or even automatically when you are sleeping (based on your daily wakeup alarm time), until you cancel this mode via the notification.
The goal is to further lock down your phone if it gets taken away from you, or if you've left it behind somewhere. Think of it as automating Lockdown mode, but available for devices running OS versions less than P.
RadiusLocker is not a lock screen replacement. This app uses the Device Administrator permission. You will be prompted for a Device Administrator permission request.
An in-app purchase gives you advanced options to avoid a RadiusLocker lock when your chosen wearable disconnects, such as:
🔓 Your phone is connected to a specified WIFI network SSID
🔓 Maps/Waze/Auto is detected as the foreground activity (compatible devices only & is just a "best effort" detection)
🔓 Your phone is connected to another specified Bluetooth device
🔓 Your phone is charging
Other handy paid features:
🔒 Constantly require PIN within 8HR before your phone's alarm, to help prevent others from unlocking your phone using your face or fingerprint while you are sleeping. You don't even need to own a smartwatch to use this mode. You can also trigger this mode manually, and it will run until you cancel it yourself.
⏰ Lock retry every ~15 minutes if your phone didn't lock due to a Snooze.
⏰ Delay locking by set period in case watch Bluetooth disconnection was temporary and returns after a few seconds.
🔒 Lock if SIM gets removed.
⚙️ Launch a Tasker task upon RadiusLocker lock, with an optional delay period in case your locking wearable returns.
🖐️ Require biometric authentication when cold-launching main app screen or cancelling scheduled lock retry and other events. Offers PIN fallback.
There's a Wear (2.x+) companion app that can be used to manually lock your phone while still in range (overriding any active Snooze state) - both the RadiusLocker phone and Wear apps need to be installed and fully configured. Forcing a shutdown on your wearable/smartwatch can also be used to a manually lock your phone with RadiusLocker, if both devices are still in proximity and not in a Snooze state.
RadiusLocker is designed to be used with Wear devices, fitness trackers, and other wearable devices, though it should be compatible with any generic Bluetooth device you'd want to be used for locking.
RadiusLocker will not work on ZTE devices, as our research has shown that ZTE's implementation of the administrator screen lock doesn't actually disable Smart Lock features.
Because of the Device Administrator permission, later uninstallation first requires you to remove RadiusLocker from the Device Admin list in the OS's settings (searching for Admin should get you there).
