Remotely - Wear controls for Android
Wear watch required (duh).
What is this for, you ask? Well, personally, I somehow find myself in the situation where I give my phone to a friend and they seize control, not wanting to give it back, a lot. Having no sort of app like this to lock the screen, or invoke some other shenanigan means I'm out of luck.
Resort to physical violence, you say? No, no, no, what?! I'll just make a Wear app to control my phone, so that I can encourage the giving back of the phone! Simple!
And that's exactly what this is. Remotely.
Current features available:
- Remotely lock phone
- Remotely simulate home button press
- Remotely summon a monkey to wreak havoc upon your phone for five seconds (hint, hint, lag ensues)
- Toggle phone flashlight (thus camera permission)
- Remotely Rick Roll
Remotely works using messages sent from the Wear watch, when you tap a button, to the phone. This means that you never need my app running in the background, as the message will start the app on demand, and only then. No battery drain, hurray!

Needs a Material icon

Using a Huawei Watch and Galaxy S7 Edge. My personal preference would be for the labels to be below the action icons instead of above, and it would be cool if I could set an exclusion list of apps the monkey option shouldn't launch, but no actual complaints.
