About this app

Keep Screen On prevents your phone from sleeping when you need it most. Whether you're reading a recipe, following instructions, or displaying information, one tap keeps your screen lit.

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

★ CUSTOMIZABLE TAP BEHAVIOR
Prefer tapping only the switch? Turn off "tap anywhere to toggle" in settings to prevent accidental taps.

★ CUSTOM DURATION
Set how long to keep your screen awake — choose from presets (15m, 30m, 1h, 2h, 4h) or set a custom time. The app remembers your last choice and applies it automatically next time.

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

★ BRIGHTNESS CONTROL
Adjust screen brightness while in awake mode. Your original brightness and auto-brightness settings are automatically restored when you
turn it off.

★ EXTRA DIM MODE
Reduce screen brightness below the system minimum — perfect for overnight use as a baby monitor, clock display, or bedside reading light.

★ OPTIONAL STATUS NOTIFICATION
Enable a subtle status bar reminder when screen-on mode is active. Disabled by default, toggle in Settings.

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

★ LIGHTWEIGHT
Minimal battery impact. No background services running when not in use.

★ PRIVACY FOCUSED
No data collection. No tracking. Just a simple utility that does its job.

PERFECT FOR:
• Reading articles or ebooks
• Following recipes while cooking
• Watching tutorials
• Displaying boarding passes
• Keeping maps visible while navigating
• Keeping screen dim overnight (baby monitor, clock display)
• Any time you need your screen to stay on

Keep it lit. 💡

Available in 16+ languages including English, Spanish, French, German, Italian, Portuguese, Russian, Japanese, Korean, Chinese (Simplified & Traditional), Arabic, Hindi, Turkish, Indonesian, and Vietnamese.

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! 🎉 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!

Downloaded so many other apps, but surprisingly this is the one that works for my Xiaomi 11T. Thank you for developing this app. Straightforward usage, just open and enable. This app will run in background so you do not need to keep it open in ur task manager. Kudos and well done 👍🏻
