Mockation: Mock Location Tool

Mockation sets your device's GPS to any place you choose, so you can test location-based features without leaving your desk.

Building a store finder, a delivery tracker, a geofence or a "nearby" feed? Mockation lets you check how it behaves in another city — or another continent — in a couple of taps, then hands your device back to its real GPS the moment you're done.

★ THREE WAYS TO ADD A PLACE
• Paste a Google Maps link — full URLs and short maps.app.goo.gl links both work; the coordinates are pulled out on your device.
• Pick on a map — drag the map under a fixed pin or jump straight to where you are.
• Type coordinates — plain latitude and longitude in decimal degrees.

★ ONE TAP TO RE-MOCK
• Save the places you test against and start any of them from Home with a single tap.
• Organize them with your own tags and colors.
• Long-press the app icon for your three most recent places.

★ AUTO-STOP TIMER
• Choose how long a mock run — it stops by itself and restores your real location.
• Need longer? Add 15 minutes from the app, the notification or the widget.
• Or run "until off" and stop it whenever you like.

★ HOME-SCREEN WIDGETS
• See what's being mocked and how long is left, with a Stop button.
• Start any saved place right from the home screen. Make the widget wider and it shows your places alongside the countdown and controls.

★ REALISTIC MOVEMENT
• Optional jitter adds about ±3 m of drift to every update, so your app sees the small movement a real GPS receiver produces instead of a frozen point.

★ MADE WITH CARE
• Material You design with dynamic color and full dark mode.
• Built-in recovery: if your phone stays mocked after the app is closed by the system, Mockation cleans it up the next time it opens — and Settings has a one-tap "Location still mocked?" reset.
• No account, no ads, no tracking. Your saved places stay on your device and are excluded from cloud backup.

HOW IT WORKS
Android only lets an app provide mock locations once you have chosen it yourself:
1. Enable Developer options (Settings → About phone → tap "Build number" seven times).
2. Go to Settings → System → Developer options → "Select mock location app" and choose Mockation.
3. Open Mockation, pick a place and press Start.

Until you do step 2, Mockation can't change your location at all — that's Android's own safeguard, and Mockation doesn't try to get around it. While a mock is running, a notification stays visible, so you always know, and Stop is one tap away.

PLEASE USE RESPONSIBLY
Mockation is a development and testing tool. Only mock your location where you're allowed to — using a simulated location may break the terms of some services and, in some places, the law.

Note for Samsung devices: with "Automatic date and time" on, One UI may set your time zone from the mocked location. Mockation explains this before your first mock.
