The Conqueror

The Conqueror keeps you in the app during a session. The moment you try to leave, it pulls you straight back. One tap to turn it on, no computer.

HOW IT WORKS

Tap the button. Android opens Accessibility settings.
Find Out Past, turn it on, confirm.
That is it. During a lock in, Home and Recents bounce you back. Only phone calls get through.

Advanced

The one tap Conqueror is strong, but a determined person could still force stop Out Past from Android settings. For an absolute prison with no way out until a factory reset, make Out Past the device owner. One time, on a computer.

DEVICE OWNER, OPTIONAL

Remove every account on the phone (Settings, Accounts). A fresh or reset phone is ideal.
Turn on Developer options, then USB debugging.
Plug into a computer with adb and run this once:

How the lock works

Out Past locks your phone using Screen Pinning, built into Android. Turn it on once. Free.

ONE TIME

Settings, Security, then App pinning.
Turn it on.
Turn on Ask for PIN before unpinning.

EVERY TIME

Set a timer, tap Let's Lock In.
Open Recents, tap the Out Past icon at the top.
Tap Pin. You're locked.
