Description
Screen Off can be used to turn off and lock the screen of any Android 6.0 (Marshmallow), or heigher device, in a way that it can be unlocked without violating the security policy that requires a PIN to unlock.
That means that you can use your fingerprint to unlock your device, as you would normally do if the screen was turned of by pressing the hardware power key.
Screen Off can also be assigned to be the Assist App of your device and thus it can be activated by long-pressing the Home key.
It is distributed as Free Open Source Software and its source code is available at https://github.com/jsalatas/ScreenOff

Works perfectly with Moto G7 Power, excellent! First screen off app I've found that actually does what it is meant to do. Screen off instantly and fingerprint unlock all good. Well done!
★★★★★
Works after turning on the go local Acton lock screen. Thanks for the support.
★★☆☆☆
This app used to work fine, now it keeps changing the icon on the home screen for the icon of the settings, which make it unusable. John, I emailed you, check it out.
★★☆☆☆
When press screen off, it goes off right away, but then the screen comes back on 10 seconds later! Went in settings but nothing prevented this from happening. Am I missing something? Stupid app. Deleted.
★★☆☆☆
Instead of turning off the screen, it turns the screen into black but operating; you are not saving any power but consuming. A fraud
★★☆☆☆
Pixel 3a screen off & back on in a few seconds. I'm so bummed. :(
