Instructions

-------------------

On 1st launch, Smart Switch requests permission to "Lock the screen". The app can be used without this permission. However, the app can not lock the screen to prevent usage and would simply perform a reminder function.

Add schedule to specified operational periods (periods the device can be used). Afterwards, lock the screen (e.g. using physical button) and the schedule will be in place. It is recommended to remove this app from "recent app" before locking the screen.

Smart Switch uses existing lock screen settings (using pin, pattern, etc). The app simply lock the screen. Hence, user need to setup the lock screen with the device settings.

Additional functions such as lock schedule and rest function can be found in settings.
