WiseTab

WiseTab is an Android security and anti-theft app that displays customizable overlay reminders at regular intervals, helping you stay aware of your device and prevent unauthorized access.

Device Lock on Timeout — Automatically locks the device via Device Admin API when the timer expires
Customizable Overlay — Configure the overlay's icon, shape, size, transparency, and color
Smart Pause Logic — Automatically pauses during screen lock, active phone calls, or when the dialer keypad is open
Activity History — Logs all security events (locks, prevented attempts, start/stop) with timestamps
Foreground Service — Reliable background scheduling that survives device reboots

Requirements

The following permissions are required for full functionality:
