Full description
Tired of your Android screen timing out at the worst moments? Introducing Wakey: Keep Screen On – your ultimate smart screen control and automation app, designed to prevent unwanted screen timeouts during reading, navigation, gaming, work, or while simply enjoying your photos. Wakey puts you in complete control. With just one tap, you can override your device's default sleep timeout, keeping your screen lit on your terms. Whether you need it fully bright for directions, dim for night-time reading, or even completely dark while your phone continues working in your pocket, Wakey handles it. Free Features to Enhance Your Experience: • Manual Control: Tap the iconic bulb in the app or use the convenient Quick-Setting Tile or Home screen Widget to instantly toggle "stay awake" mode. • Custom Timers: Set a maximum screen-on duration for specific tasks, ensuring efficiency without constant monitoring. • Flexible Brightness Modes: Choose between Darken, Normal, and Brighten to perfectly suit any environment or task. • Idle Dimming: Keep the screen awake but allow it to dim when idle, saving battery while remaining accessible. • Smart Pocket Mode: Fully darken your screen while it stays awake in your pocket, preventing accidental touches and saving power. • Persistent Notification: Keep quick control and status information always visible (optional). Unlock Uninterrupted Productivity & Convenience with Wakey Premium! Upgrade to Wakey Premium (a single, one-time purchase, no subscription required!) to unlock powerful automations and an ad-free experience, making your life even easier: • SmartWake: Automatically keep your screen awake simply by using your device or when it's in motion. Perfect for reading e-books, following recipes, or any activity where you need the screen to stay on while you interact. • AppWake: Set your screen to automatically stay awake when specific apps are in the foreground. Never miss a beat during your gaming sessions, keep album art visible while music plays, or ensure uninterrupted navigation. This feature is also a lifesaver for users with limited dexterity who need extra time to navigate apps. ◦ Your Privacy Matters: When the AppWake Accessibility Service is enabled, it only monitors which apps are in the foreground to enable Wakey as configured. It cannot see the contents of your screen, read anything you type, listen to your microphone, or use your camera. No data about your specific use of AppWake is collected or shared with anyone. This is crucial for building user trust and complying with Google's strict privacy policies. • ChargeWake: Keep your screen awake automatically whenever your device is charging. Ideal for displaying important information, using your device as a kiosk, or simply ensuring it’s ready when you pick it up. • BtWake: Automatically keep the screen on when connected to selected Bluetooth devices. Great for integration with car systems, smartwatches, or other peripherals where continuous display is beneficial. • Tasker Plugin: For advanced users, integrate Wakey seamlessly with Tasker or Locale. Customize Wakey's behavior to react to virtually any trigger Tasker supports – from dimming the screen for night-time browsing to maximizing brightness for daytime navigation. • Remove Ads: Enjoy Wakey without any interruptions. Wakey is the perfect tool for: • Readers: Stay immersed in your e-books and articles. • Drivers & Navigators: Keep your map visible without taps. • Presenters: Ensure your display never sleeps during important talks. • Gamers: Focus on your game, not your screen timeout. • Technicians & Coders: Keep reference materials visible while you work. • ...and anyone who simply needs reliable, customizable screen control. Download Wakey now and experience the freedom of a screen that stays on when you need it, exactly how you want it. Upgrade to Premium to unlock the full suite of smart automations and support our ongoing development!

What's new
