About this app

This app allows you to set your phone to display a procedurally generated digital rain (Matrix effect) while charging or docking. No two times will be the same! It uses the "Daydream" feature introduced in Android 4.2.

It is highly customizable, including:
•Completely custom colours
•Custom texts
•Battery percentage
•Colour using the battery charge
•Time display
•Custom sizes
•Background colours
•Custom amount
•and more!

To use simply go to your settings, select Display, then select Daydream/Screensaver and select the app! You can also change the screensaver settings there.

There is also a shortcut that takes you straight there!

Please note: This is a screen saver, NOT a wallpaper. You will not be able to apply this on your home screen!

Ratings and reviews

Very nice rian! Absolutely love it and don't even mind the ads. Get that money fam. Only thing I wish it had was a little more customization like trail length, residue fade time and color, color options and frequency for the text section ie time\battery%\custom text. Just some minor things I've seen in similar apps over the years but this tops them IMO. I noticed there hasn't been an update since 2018 but maybe you'll see this and want to tinker. Where do I send $ now? Take it all lol.

It's really cool for a Matrix fan, but the deal breaker for me was that it took away the ability to wake up my phone with my fingerprint unless I stopped it from charging first, and I do that too much to make it worth using. If I were to make any other suggestions it would be that the battery percentage and time didn't randomly show up so often, and that the custom sentence you can add not appear so often and scroll down like the rest of the feed instead of horizontally.

This is the only smooth and really good looking Matrix rain Daydream *screensaver*. So cool for a nerd! To be perfect, this should have the ability to choose how long you want it to display for. E.g, I only want it to show for the first minute after charging starts, then fade out so it won't be distracting over time, especially if studying or in a car mount, and because I have an OLED Always On Display. Will update to five stars if the feature is added. Some other screensavers have this feature.
