Description by Artem Chepurnyi Written by the developer, not by AppBrain. Click to read.
I have developed this app because stock Android lacks this feature and my phone always changes something or disables important things while laying inside a pocket. Seriously, this had to be stopped.
The app is completely free and open source, the donations are welcomed but do not provide any benefit for the user.

How does it work:
Pocket mode monitors the proximity sensor for a fraction of a second after turning the screen on. If in this time window the proximity sensor has been covered for a defined period the app turns the screen back off.
Used permissions explained:
- Accessibility service -- Pocket Mode uses accessibility service to send the command that locks the screen. Without it locking the screen would require a PIN code on each unlock, ruining the user experience.
- android.permission.RECEIVE_BOOT_COMPLETED -- needed to restart the service after a reboot.
- android.permission.READ_PHONE_STATE -- needed to pause screen locking while call is ongoing.
