idle

idle — your screen, at rest. Turn your charging phone into a beautiful, burn-in-proof bedside clock. idle launches automatically when you plug in and closes when you unplug. No ads. No subscriptions. No account needed. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ PROTECTS YOUR SCREEN Most clock apps destroy OLED screens. idle is different. A GPU-powered pixel-shift shader continuously moves every pixel in a subtle orbit pattern — invisible to your eye, but enough to prevent burn-in completely. Your phone stays safe, even overnight. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ BEAUTIFUL CLOCK FACES • 5 premium fonts at maximum weight for a bold, chunky look • Overlapping bubble digits with soft ambient glow • 5 solid colors: white, red, green, blue, amber • Per-digit multicolor mode inspired by Apple Watch Palette • 5 curated gradient palettes: Solar Flare, Aurora, Midnight Nebula, Oceanic Dawn, Twilight Ember • Glowing colon separators with color-matched halos • Date display with multiple format options ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ SMART BRIGHTNESS idle reads your room's ambient light and adjusts screen brightness automatically. In a dark bedroom, the screen dims to near-minimum. Touch the brightness slider anytime to override. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ WORKS LIKE MAGIC • Plug in your charger → idle launches (when screen is off or locked) • Unplug → idle closes • Works with USB-C, wireless Qi, and any charger • Displays over the lock screen — no unlock needed • Follows your phone orientation — portrait or landscape • Survives device restarts ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ HANDLES ANDROID BATTERY KILLERS Samsung, Xiaomi, Huawei, and other manufacturers aggressively kill background apps. idle detects your device manufacturer and guides you through the exact settings you need to change — with one-tap deep links to the right page. Green checkmarks confirm when each step is done. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ RESPECTS YOUR PRIVACY • No account, no sign-up • No ads, not now, not ever • No personal data collected • Works fully offline • Anonymous telemetry only (can be disabled) ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 100% FREE Every feature is free. No paywalls. No "premium" tier. If you enjoy idle, there's an optional tip jar in settings — purely voluntary, unlocks nothing. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ REQUIRES • Android 13 or later • OLED or AMOLED display recommended (works on LCD too) ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ idle is built by an independent developer.
