About this app

This application adds a quick setting to toggle the screen off timeout (the time until your phone goes to sleep) with a single tap.

By adding this quick setting, you can extend the screen off timeout with a single tap from the notification area when you cannot touch your phone but do not want the screen to go off immediately, such as when cooking while looking at a recipe, studying while looking at an explanation, playing a game while looking at a guide site, and so on.

* FEATURES
✓ Can toggle the screen off timeout with a single tap.
✓ Can set different times for OFF (default) and ON (extended).
✓ Can set up to 60 minutes (*may not work on some devices).
✓ Can show a notification to remind to turn the quick setting off.

[How to add to Quick Settings]
1. Swipe down twice from the top of the screen to pull out the notification area to the whole screen.
2. Tap the pen icon at the bottom of the Quick Settings screen to display the Edit Quick Settings screen.
(Depending on the OS version, the pen icon may appear at the top.)
3. Long-press and hold the "Screen Off Time" quick setting tile, drag it to the top, and release it where you want to place it.

[Special access permission]
To change the "Screen Off Time" setting, confirm permission to "Change System Settings" at first startup.

Ratings and reviews

Does what it's supposed to do, and it's well presented. It's a shame it only toggles between two times (default and extended) - it would be useful to be able to select various timeout values and toggle through them (ex. 1min-5min-10min), and to have an option to make sure a default value is automatically set after phone restart.

ever since i installed, my screen dims long before the timeout... at 30sec timeout, the screen dims at around 15sec. very annoying. can you fix or add a setting to disable this? also it would be nice to be able to set a custom amount of seconds or minutes

Has always worked perfectly on my Samsung phones. Idk why it's not working for some. Maybe they're using Chinese phones which kills background activities.

What's new

- Notification will now be re-displayed upon device restart.
