Your phone is taken before you can open an app. Panic Burn works from the lock screen through a gesture that looks like frustration, not a security app.
PRONew
Panic button
A physical panic button, hidden in plain sight.
When someone is watching or your phone is already out of your hands, Panic Burn fires your configured response through rapid power-button presses — discreet, on-device, and immediate.
- 5–10 power presses within 3–5 seconds while armed
- Optional alarm before wipe so you know it fired
- Quick Settings tile shows armed status at a glance
- Evaluated entirely on-device — no server round-trip
When it matters
Built for real pressure, not hypotheticals.
Forced to unlock
Someone demands your PIN while you still hold the device. A few rapid presses can trigger protection before they get inside.
Lost in a crowd
You feel your phone slip or notice it missing. If it is still powered and armed, the trigger remains ready without logging into anything.
Privacy first
On-device. Deniable. No tracking.
Panic Burn is evaluated locally on your Android device. No account signup, no ad-tech stack, and no personal info required for normal use.
FAQ
Common questions about Panic Burn.
Does Panic Burn work from the lock screen?
Yes. When Burn is armed and Panic Burn is enabled, rapid power-button presses are evaluated on-device — you do not need to unlock or open the app.
Will bystanders know I triggered protection?
The gesture looks like repeated button presses. You can configure an optional alarm, but the trigger itself does not require opening a visible security app.
What response can Panic Burn trigger?
You choose the response in Burn — lock, alarm, or full device wipe — the same as other triggers.
Is Panic Burn included in Core?
Panic Burn is a Pro feature. Core includes essentials like duress PIN and USB data burn; Pro unlocks every advanced trigger.
