About this app

BlackPlay turns your screen completely black while your audio keeps playing — saving up to 70% battery on OLED and AMOLED displays. Perfect for listening to videos, music, podcasts, audiobooks, or any audio app without wasting power on screen brightness.

🔋 Save Battery. Keep Listening. Black Out Your Screen.

▶️ HOW IT WORKS
Tap one button to activate a pure black (#000000) overlay. Your screen pixels turn off completely on OLED/AMOLED devices while audio from your favorite streaming, music, and podcast apps continues uninterrupted in the background.

🕐 ALWAYS-ON DISPLAY
Choose from 80+ stunning clock styles for your black screen:
• Digital & Analog
• Minimal & Neon
• Matrix & Retro Terminal
• Flip Clock & Tube Style
• Vaporwave & Pixel Retro
• …and many more!
Display battery percentage alongside the clock. Adjust brightness to your preference.

👆 SMART DISMISS GESTURES
Choose how to exit the black screen:
• Single Tap — tap anywhere to dismiss
• Double Tap — prevents accidental wake with customizable interval
• Long Press — hold and release to dismiss
• Swipe — swipe to dismiss, taps are ignored

🔒 BIOMETRIC LOCK
Secure your black screen with fingerprint or face unlock. Prevent kids, friends, or anyone from dismissing the overlay without your biometric authentication.

⚫ FLOATING BUTTON
A draggable floating button lets you toggle black screen from any app — video players, music apps, or your browser. Customize button size and opacity.
