About this app

This app turns off the screen but keeps your device awake. With this feature, you can do things like
- Playing a video or streaming service with the screen off
- Running an auto-play game with the screen off
- Staying connected with the screen off when copying large files over a USB connection from your PC
- Another good idea

Once adding a button to the quick settings panel (pulling down the status bar), quickly and easily turn off the screen with an app running, and swipe the screen to get back to the running app.

* This app uses accessibility service API to prevent the current app from pausing by Screen Off & Play. No information is processed or collected from this permission, and you can cancel the permission anytime in the settings.

Ratings and reviews

puts a black overlay rather then turn off the screen. only good if you have an OLED screen.

Works great while using a external monitor. With this app i could just make the screen black (what saves battery, and prevents eventually burn-ins) I just used the quick switch icon when swiping down from status bar. I didn't give it any permissions and yet it still worked (maybe because i just use it on the homescreen, so its not overlaying any apps) Can recommend it.

This is a unique one of a kind app. If you activate it via the Quick Settings Drop-down, it turns the screen off without locking the phone. Drag your finger on the screen, and the screen comes back alive. You will need to edit the Quick Settings Drop-down Menu to make this program's tile visible. If you want a traditional lock screen, you activate this program via the regular menu. This may confuse the user. maybe the author should add an additional regular menu item to turn off the screen ???
