Privacy Flip automatically manages your device's privacy features based on screen lock/unlock state. When you lock your device, it can disable Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, mobile data, location services, NFC, and even camera/microphone sensors. When you unlock, it intelligently restores the features you want back on.

Works with Root OR Shizuku - Choose your preferred privilege method!

Features:

Privacy Features Controlled:

Note: Camera and microphone ignore custom delays and trigger immediately (if not in use to avoid interrupting calls), due to Android limitations

Requirements:

Choose your privilege method:

Option 1: Shizuku (No root required!) * Shizuku app installed and running * ADB privileges via USB or wireless debugging * Perfect for non-rooted devices

Option 2: Root Access (Recommended for rooted devices) * Root access via Magisk, SuperSU, or similar * Best performance with UID 0 privileges

Option 3: Dhizuku (Device Owner method) * Device set as Device Owner or Profile Owner * No root required, no ADB after setup * Persistent privileges across reboots * Perfect for enterprise/privacy-focused setups

Option 4: Sui (Best of both worlds) * Rooted device with Magisk * Sui Magisk module installed * Best user experience - automatic startup, no prompts

Privacy & Security:

WhatsNew:

- Fixed critical race condition in camera/microphone disabling during screen lock
- Added stabilization delay to prevent keyguard timing issues
- Improved Bluetooth connection detection with multiple fallback methods
- Enhanced "only if unused" reliability for Bluetooth headphones
- Added Samsung NFC payment override detection and opt-in auto-retry
- Added experimental Accessibility Service for side button lock support
- Removed app filtering - users can now exempt ANY app including system apps

While you can download the APKs here directly, you should preferably use an F-Droid client so the app stays up-to-date on your device. Some clients have this repo enabled by default, e.g. Neo Store, Droid-ify, or, of course, the IzzyOnDroid client by Sunil. With others (like the official client) you'll have to add this repo manually (see the hint on top of the package list for how to do that).
