Mock Location

Fake GPS for Android that follows real roads

What it does

Sets an Android phone to any point on the map, or moves it along a real road route at whatever speed you pick. Tap the map for a fixed position and every app that asks gets that spot. Or set a start and an end, and the phone follows the roads instead of cutting a straight line across them. GPX import and export, so a route recorded on a real trip can be replayed at your desk. Android makes you pick the app under Select mock location app in Developer options first.

Simulate a fixed GPS position or real road route on Android for authorized app testing. Free on Google Play, with speed controls, history and GPX.

Mock Location Route Simulator lets you set a fixed test position or replay movement along a real road route on Android. It is built for developers, QA testers and learners checking location-aware software on devices they own or are authorised to test. Android 8.0 or later. No root access required. Some apps can detect or reject simulated locations. Android controls mock locations through Developer options. The app guides you to the correct setting, but only you can approve it. Mock Location uses Android’s official test-location capability. It does not root the phone or modify another app. Android marks the supplied position as simulated, so the software receiving it can treat it…from metacyberguru.com

  • I made OwnTime to balance between competing priorities in my life. The idea is based on two main influences: the concept of "roles" from "The 5 Choices" (2015), and my repeated failure to effectively implement time blocking due to the necessary flexibility in my role. The app allows you to define time budgets, which are not much more than a few mutually exclusive countdown timers. The UX is essentially that of a chess clock for an arbitrary number of players with configurable time. The whole point of the app is to kick you out of the running role/priority when its time is up. One…
