Lock a device and wipe its data on emergency
About this app
You can use PanicKit, tile, shortcut or send a message with a secret code. On trigger, using Device Administration API, it locks a device and optionally runs wipe (factory reset). Also it can send a broadcast message instead of the wipe.
Also you can: * fire when a device was not unlocked for X time * fire when a USB data connection is made while a device is locked * fire when a fake messenger app is launched * fire when a duress password is entered (companion app: [Duress](https://github.com/x13a/Duress))
The app works in Work Profile too, but with limitations. Use it to install risky apps and Wasted in it. Then you can wipe this profile data with one click without wiping the whole device.
For base security take a look at: [Sentry](https://github.com/x13a/Sentry). Only encrypted device may guarantee that the data will not be recoverable.
Broadcast: * action: me.lucky.wasted.action.TRIGGER * receiver: me.lucky.wasted/.TriggerReceiver * also you have to send a secret code from Wasted with the key: code
Permissions: * DEVICE_ADMIN - lock and optionally wipe a device * FOREGROUND_SERVICE - receive lock and USB state events * RECEIVE_BOOT_COMPLETED - persist lock job and foreground service across reboots

Installation Guide
Open Settings on your Android device
Go to Security → Unknown sources (or Install unknown apps)

Open the downloaded APK file from your Downloads folder
Tap "Install" and wait for installation to complete
Launch the app from your home screen
Make sure to re-enable Unknown Sources restrictions after installation for security.
How to install this safely
How to verify the file you downloaded
Before you install anything, confirm the file is the one described here. On a computer, run shasum -a 256 your-download.apk (macOS or Linux) or certutil -hashfile your-download.apk SHA256 (Windows), then compare the output character-for-character with the SHA-256 on this page. If a single character differs, the file is not the build we recorded — delete it.
What the signing certificate proves
Every Android app is signed with a private key that only its developer holds. The fingerprint on this page is a hash of the matching public certificate, and it proves continuity rather than identity: it tells you a build came from whoever signed the earlier ones. Android enforces this at install time — if a package claiming to be me.lucky.wasted is signed with a different key, the system will refuse to install it over your existing copy. A fingerprint that changes between releases is worth pausing on, because a repackaged app that has been modified by someone else cannot keep the original signature.
How to roll back to an earlier version
If the current release misbehaves, 1.5.9 is the last build before it. Android will not install an older version code over a newer one, so you must uninstall Wasted first — which clears its local data unless you have a backup. Reinstall the older APK only if its signing fingerprint matches the build you already trust, and check the API range: an older release may target an Android version your device has moved past.
Why we list sources instead of hosting everything
The official store channel is almost always the right choice: it updates automatically and carries the publisher's own distribution guarantees. A direct APK is useful when a device has no store access, when a rollout has not reached your region, or when you need a specific version — and only when the publisher has authorized that copy. APKBrowse does not list pirated, cracked, or unauthorized rebuilds of Wasted, and a listing is removed when the evidence for it stops holding up.
Get Wasted
Every source we list for me.lucky.wasted is legality-reviewed. Pirated or cracked builds are never offered.

Permissions Required
What each permission lets Wasted do. A highlighted one is worth a second look — not necessarily wrong, just worth asking whether this app needs it.
Previous Versions
The signing certificate fingerprint for this release is on record, so a build that does not match it did not come from this publisher.
