Frequently Asked Questions

TimeUp Lock is a lightweight Android parental control app that solves a single task extremely well: locking your phone automatically after a preset duration. It is designed to be used when you hand your device over to children.
The Accessibility Service API is used only to perform the system-level action of locking the screen when the countdown timer ends. Android OS prevents applications from locking the screen programmatically without this permission. We do not read, transmit, or record any screen content or user interaction.
No. AppMist operates under a strict privacy model. We do not require accounts, we do not have remote servers, and there are no tracking SDKs or internet integration elements in the app. Your data stays entirely on your local device.
You can configure PIN/pattern protection within the app settings. Once enabled, the application requires authorization to cancel an active timer, adjust durations, or close setup menus.
The Display Over Other Apps permission is required so that when the timer expires, the app can display its lock screen over whatever app your child is currently using. Without this permission, the lock interface cannot overlay other apps, rendering the lock inactive.
