Baby Time: Android Wear Lock

An app to prevent rugrats from accidentally SMSing China or ordering you a Lyft car when you’re holding them. It keeps the screen on, but at its lowest brightness setting to avoid annoying – or worse yet, interesting – an infant.


Start the app by saying "OK Google, run Baby Time." The only way to exit Baby Time is to swipe up twice and then down twice:

✔ Motor control verified. WELCOME ADULT HUMAN

Any other types of touches will keep the watch locked and just show a message:

✖ BABY-LIKE TAPPING DETECTED

The screen can still be turned off with the palm-over-screen gesture, but Baby Time will restart as soon as the screen is turned on again.

Getting the app

To run the app, install the release application from [Google Play] (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.yonisamlan.wearbabytime) onto your phone, where it will auto-install the included watch app onto your connected watch. For those inclined, you can open the source and install the Wear app directly to your wearable.
