Double Tap Screen On or Off uses foreground service to monitor the double tap or device shake all the time by running a foreground service. Once we detect the double tap or shake of the device, we’ll lock the screen as per user chosen behaviour. This is the core functionality of the application.

Double Tap Screen On or Off starts the foreground service only after taking proper consent from the user. For this purpose we are requesting for FOREGROUND_SERVICE_SPECIAL_USE permission in the application.

We do not use any of the above permission to access your personal data but those permissions are required for the app to work.
