GroveOwl

The Code Grove

About this app

GroveOwl keeps your Android screen awake for as long as you need it, even while another app is visible.

Wake the owl, choose 15 minutes, one hour, or an unlimited vigil, then continue with your recipe, reading, presentation, or navigation. When you are done, put the owl to sleep from the app or its persistent notification.

Key features:
• Keeps the screen awake globally.
• 15-minute, one-hour, or unlimited sessions.
• Controls in a persistent notification.
• Quick Settings tile and home-screen widget.
• Option to let the display dim while staying awake.
• Automatic stop when the battery is low.
• Light and dark themes.

Permissions:
GroveOwl needs permission to display over other apps using an invisible, non-interactive technical window. This window is used only to keep the screen awake. A persistent notification clearly shows when the owl is active and lets you stop it at any time.

GroveOwl requires no account and stores preferences locally on your device.
