Description
Touch Blocker can intercept touches, taps, swipes, gestures, and any other input on your screen, so you can leave your screen on without worrying about accidental input.
Listen to YouTube with your phone in your pocket. Leave a chart open on desk tablet.
Touch Blocker is the only app I know of that correctly and fully intercepts screen input to lock your screen on and avoid swipes, system navigation, and opening the notification shade.
Note that Touch Blocker uses the Accessibility APIs in Android to display a screen overlay. Touch Blocker will ask for this permission in the system settings when you open Touch Blocker. Touch Blocker does not collect or store any data and only uses this permission to display the overlay as necessary to function.
Touch Blocker is open source. https://github.com/NightlyNexus/TouchBlocker
P.S. for power users: Other apps (like Tasker) can broadcast locking, unlocking, and toggling Toch Blocker via these broadcast actions: com.nightlynexus.touchblocker.ACTION_START_BLOCKING_TOUCHES com.nightlynexus.touchblocker.ACTION_END_BLOCKING_TOUCHES com.nightlynexus.touchblocker.ACTION_TOGGLE_BLOCKING_TOUCHES

Comments on Touch Blocker: Disable Screen for Android
★★★★★nvsn· May 22, 2025
Does a great job at blocking the screen from touch interaction when needed, I'm not sure I understand what the premium feature does though, and it mentions using the power button to toggle the lock, but it's actually holding the home button for the 'phone assistance' action for me, it was confusing since I cannot reassign 'hold power button' to anything but bixby and power options on my android. Anyway, I recommend the app for those looking for something super simple and effective!

Great app work very well, just select it as default assistant, and it does its job, I have a request to be able to hide the floating icon when not turning it on by just 2 clicks on the screen or on the navigation button

Not even close to what I'm looking for. Regardless of settings changed, this garbage phone constantly turns the screen on, turns the flashlight on, types in my pin, and somehow navigates around my phone.... From my pocket. Never experienced any of this on the garbage S22+ I had. Need an app that hass a full password or something to even be able to get to my loco screen. Or after the lock screen. The idea if this app is useless. Can easily set these settings on your phone, no app needed.

Potential but fails to recognize when it's been granted the permission it needs for unlocking via power button. Also, it would be really useful to have options to make the unlock button smaller & more transparent when it's waiting to unlock (when a lock screen has been double tapped)
★★☆☆☆Shaw Lamontagne· Dec 23, 2025
A little misleading. From what I can tell, it disables all input besides the power/assist button. App stops when screen is turned off, meaning you can still press things on the lock screen.
