Charge Glow is a charging animation that lives on your lock screen and home screen as a live wallpaper. Plug in your phone, wake the screen, and the animation plays with your real battery percentage. Unplug, and it settles into a calm, still wallpaper.
Why a wallpaper
Most charging animation apps need an accessibility service, a notification permission or an overlay permission to draw over your screen, and they stop working when the phone puts them to sleep. Charge Glow asks for none of that. A wallpaper is kept running by Android itself, so there is nothing to grant and nothing running in the background on your behalf.
10 animations, 5 unlocked from the start
• Neon Pulse: a neon ring fills to your charge level while a comet circles it.
• Liquid Fill: a battery silhouette filling with a moving liquid surface.
• Energy Rings: rings pulsing outward from a bolt.
• Battery Cell: segmented battery bars fill to your charge level.
• Heartbeat Line: an ECG-style sweep travels across a glowing line.
• Aurora Waves: three flowing ribbons ripple around your battery percentage. (unlock)
• Lightning Bolt: a pulsing lightning bolt sends sparks outward. (unlock)
• Particle Orbit: dots orbit your battery percentage on tilted paths. (unlock)
• Bubble Rise: bubbles rise through a vessel filled to your charge level. (unlock)
• Circuit Trace: light travels along circuit traces toward your battery percentage. (unlock)
Swipe through every style full screen any time, no unlock needed. Pick one of the five unlocked styles
and set it with one tap through the system wallpaper chooser, or unlock a locked style
permanently by watching one short ad.
Make it yours
• Six colour themes for every animation: Original, Rose, Amber, Mint, Ocean and Violet.
• Play it for 30 seconds, a minute, or the whole time your phone charges.
• Show or hide the battery percentage.
• Battery details at a glance: charger type, time to full, temperature, voltage, current and health, where your phone reports them.
Built with restraint
• Real battery percentage, never a decorative number.
• Animates each time you plug in or wake the screen while charging, then holds still to save power.
• A switch that actually turns it off: off means the wallpaper stays still.
• Remove it from inside the app any time: go back to your phone's default wallpaper or pick another one. No need to uninstall.
• No account and no sign-in. The app shows a small banner on the picker screen and sends
standard crash and usage diagnostics.
Good to know
The animation plays when the screen is on. Some phones light the screen when a charger connects and some do not; if yours does not, tap the power button or lift the phone. A few manufacturers keep their own wallpaper on the lock screen; in that case Charge Glow plays on the home screen. Charge Glow does not change how fast your phone charges.
No permission prompts. The wallpaper reads the battery level without accessibility, notification or overlay access. The picker uses internet access for ads and standard crash and usage diagnostics.
