About this app

Keep Screen On stops your phone from sleeping when you need it most. Reading a recipe, following instructions or showing information? One tap keeps your screen lit. πŸ’‘

⚑ SIMPLE & FAST
Just tap to toggle. No complicated settings. Your screen stays awake until you turn it off.

⭐ KEEP SCREEN ON PRO
Go ad-free and toggle never-sleep from anywhere. A home screen widget and Quick Settings tile put the switch one tap away, with no need to open the app. Switch between monthly and yearly plans anytime in Settings.

πŸ‘† CUSTOMIZABLE TAP BEHAVIOR
Prefer tapping only the switch? Turn off "tap anywhere to toggle" in Settings to prevent accidental taps.

⏱️ CUSTOM DURATION
Choose how long your screen stays awake: presets (15m, 30m, 1h, 2h, 4h) or a custom time. The app remembers your last choice and applies it next time.

πŸ”„ SMART TIMEOUT RESTORE
The app remembers your original screen timeout and restores it when you're done. No manual adjustments needed.

πŸ”† BRIGHTNESS CONTROL
Adjust brightness while your screen is awake. Your original brightness and auto-brightness settings are restored when you turn it off.

πŸŒ™ EXTRA DIM MODE
Go below the system's minimum brightness. Perfect for overnight use as a baby monitor, clock display or bedside reading light.

πŸ”” OPTIONAL STATUS NOTIFICATION
Get a subtle status bar reminder while your screen is being kept awake. Off by default, toggle it in Settings.

🎨 DARK MODE
Choose light, dark or system default. Easy on the eyes, day or night.

πŸ”‹ LIGHTWEIGHT
Minimal battery impact. No background services running when not in use.

πŸ”’ PRIVACY FOCUSED
No account required. Just a simple utility that does its job.

βœ… PERFECT FOR:
πŸ“– Reading articles or ebooks
🍳 Following recipes while cooking

So easy, works perfectly I tried many apps and none of them worked for my Xiaomi phone. This one is really easy to use, without complicated options and it works perfectly keeping the screen awake even in the app is closed.

Although it works well, for the most part, there are many pop-ups trying to install malware apps, so I can't really recommend this.

Hi Peter, thanks for the feedback! Those pop-ups are standard ads served by Google. They keep the app free and are shown at most once every 30 minutes when opening the app. We never bundle or install other apps.

Works as it is supposed to. I'd like an ad free version but biggest complaint is that it is easy to forget it's on and run down battery. Some indication of it being active is needed or a variable timer to deactivate it. 5, 10, 20, 30, minutes for example. 5 stars with timer and paid for ad free version. Could the icon change colour when active?

Hi jeffhrose! Thanks for the feedback! πŸŽ‰ Great news - version 3.5 now includes an optional status notification that reminds you when screen-on mode is active, helping prevent battery drain from forgotten settings. You can enable it in Settings. Thanks for using Keep Screen On!
