Screen Alive - keep screen on

Snapcore LLP

About this app

This app requires your permission to make changes to system settings.

It provides an option to customize the screen lock timeout. Based on your requirements, you can choose to keep screen on always or till a specific duration of inactivity. You can toggle between the initially set timeout through system settings and the timeout chosen through app.

The widget and quick menu button provided with the app can also be used to do the toggle easily.

You can choose to show a notification when custom timeout is on and easily switch back to previous setting by turning off the notification.

Ratings and reviews

I work from home and just wanted to keep my screen awake, without charging, so I could always have the clock app open for quick easy access to not only the time, but to the timers as well. Was a slight annoyance having to wake up screen every 30 minutes, but this app perfectly solves that problem. Was planning on using the Always On option, but it was a nice surprise to see you can make the timeout any length you want.

Unfortunately, most of the time this app fails to keep the screen on. The "Screen ON" app works, but it is not as convenient. Please fix it. Edit: tried Elite version, works with overlay, but I don't want to stare at it all the time, even when I don't use it. Also the notification in Elite is always present, contrary to the free version in which it is only appears when timeout is overridden, free version is better in that regard.

I'm missing an important feature. To read on my phone at night, I enable this app by setting a timeout of 30 min. I will drift off before, and the screen will turn off succesfully. But the next morning, Screen Alive is still enabled, so when I use the phone, the screen won't turn off after the custom timeout (30 min). So I'm forced to remember that and disable it manually. What I would like is a timer to disable the functionality. The paid version doesn't seem to include that either.
