Geto

Apply custom settings to your apps.
New in version 1.16.3
What's new
- Integrated UsageStatsManager to monitor app usage
- Automatically apply settings when specific apps are opened
- Revert settings when apps are closed
The only reason I created this app is to turn off that damn Developer Options when using a banking app. The only annoying thing about it is you have to go to the Settings app. When you turn off that switch button, your Developer Options configurations will be reset to default. The good thing is that when you modify your settings through its Shared Preferences, you won't lose all your settings once the Developer Options are modified.
So basically, you have to grant this app with with android.permission.WRITE_SECURE_SETTINGS in order for it to modify your Settings values.

This guide is only for Android 11+ without using computer.
