Screen off widget

Save your power button!

"Screen off widget" is an invisible widget that allows users to turn off their screen by double tapping it, helping to preserve the power button's lifespan. It features customizable sizing and placement, alongside a quick settings tile for effortless access. The app simulates a power button press, ensuring compatibility with fingerprint unlocking and maintaining battery efficiency. Accessibility permissions are required for Android Pie and above, while superuser access is needed for earlier versions. The app prioritizes user privacy and does not collect data.

Works great, but why is the tile blank? If there's a reason I can't think of, fine - but personally I minimise it to one square, and kind of wish it had a button image so I knew where it was. Great app though.
