AntiTheft Protector

Features

Because my phone was stolen, I designed this app. Main features: 1. Charging monitoring: Prevents phone theft while charging. 2. Movement monitoring: Works in static scenarios (e.g., phone placed on a desk) to prevent theft. 3. Pocket monitoring: Protect your device in the pocket and bag. 4. Both features remain active even when the app is in the background or the screen is off. Pro version includes: Movement monitoring, customizable alarm delay times, and more.
