Kinscreen Switches Off Your Screen When You Forget

Kinscreen Switches Off Your Screen When You Forget

When automation is taking control of various industrial procedures and office work in order to make our life easy, then why not implement it on household items that can save us minutes and seconds. Hence, there are apps for this too.

Kinscreen automates screen timeout so that handset display is turned off every time the user needs it, without having to do anything physically for it. There is no need to unlock, swipe or enter a password because Kinscreen understands when a user needs to use his/her phone.

What does Kinscreen do?

This app utilizes technologies including proximity, motion, and tilt angle. It detects movements near the device and turns it on, sensing requirement by the user. If a phone is on the horizontal surface, facing up, a screen will time out automatically.

Kinscreen allows the device to turn on/off at a certain period of time, saving the battery. In the situation where the display is required to remain on, the user just needs to tilt the phone to a certain angle. However, proximity handset should not be covered if a user wants the handset to detect his movements or the position of the phone.

After installing this app, users need to place the device on the stable surface and follow the procedure of “calibrate” functionality by tapping it. After 10 seconds, KinScreen would automatically fine tune the motion sensitivity for the device. The user can customize notifications and it would not affect the functioning of Kinscreen.

Features of Kinscreen:

  • Works in the dark: Some apps use the camera in the device to detect motion. This is not the case with Kinscreen. It works in the dark.
  • Battery friendly: Kinscreen has been designed to be lightweight and uses minimal CPU. Only sensors with the lowest power consumption are used by this app. Sensor monitoring is disabled every time the screen is off. Hence, the phone can sleep without any battery drain.
  • Working smoothly in the background: User can start the app and forget about it! It will work background, without interfering with in-call behavior, games or any other apps that keep the screen on.
  • Real-time activity check: Kinscreen does everything in real-time! The proximity, colored motion, tilt angle, and screen fields allow users to know what KinScreen is doing. Green screen means the timeout being actively extended. White screen means timing out normally (20 seconds), and red screen means timing out quickly (10 seconds).
