About PluckLockEx
PluckLockEx monitors the device’s accelerometer and locks the phone when a sudden movement exceeds a user-set threshold. The app is intended to detect a sharp jolt that might occur when a phone is pulled from someone’s hand. Users configure the threshold in the preferences screen; that threshold is the only setting listed for the app’s operation. The monitor runs in the background and starts itself when the device boots. When the detected acceleration crosses the threshold, the app triggers a device lock. This makes its behavior depend on the sensitivity setting and how the phone is moved during everyday use. PluckLockEx is an automatic lock trigger based on motion, rather than a general anti-theft or phone-location service. The supplied description does not mention tracking, alarms, or remote recovery. It is an updated derivative of another app and is intended for users who want the screen to lock after a sufficiently strong acceleration event.
