Always On is a lightweight utility that keeps your Android screen on permanently while automatically preventing screen burn-in through periodic screensavers.
Originally designed for repurposing old phones and tablets as always-on displays, dashboards, photo frames, or information screens — this app ensures your device stays awake without damaging the display over time.
Core Features:
• Always-On Display — Keep your screen on indefinitely. No need to tap or interact to prevent the screen from sleeping.
• Burn-in Prevention — Automatically displays a screensaver at regular intervals to prevent pixel burn-in and image retention. Choose your interval from 1 to 120 minutes.
• Scheduled Mode — Set active hours for your always-on display. During active hours, the screensaver runs normally. During inactive hours, the screen simulates power-off (dimmed to near-black) to further protect your display while keeping the service running.
• Multi-language Support — Available in English, Japanese, Chinese, and Spanish.
Use Cases:
• Repurpose an old phone as a desk clock
• Use a tablet as a kitchen recipe display
• Create a home dashboard showing weather, calendar, or smart home info
• Turn an old device into a digital photo frame
• Use as a showroom or point-of-sale display
Permissions:
• Overlay permission — for the tiny always-on screen overlay
• Foreground service — to keep running in the background
• Notification — for the persistent control notification
• Internet — only if you use the custom URL screensaver feature
No ads. No tracking. No personal data collection. Everything stays on your device.
Keep your screen always on with automatic burn-in prevention.
