Description
🎬 Play videos with screen off using Black Screen, a lightweight black screen overlay for Android that lets audio keep playing while your display turns black. Enjoy an audio-only mode experience for music videos, podcasts, streams, and long playback sessions.
🔋 Battery saver for AMOLED & OLED Black Screen displays pure black, which can help reduce power usage on AMOLED and OLED devices (black pixels draw little to no power). It’s a simple way to save battery while listening.
🕶️ Privacy Mode (Peep Protection) In public? Enable Privacy Mode to instantly hide on-screen content and prevent shoulder-surfing — while the app underneath keeps running.
⚡ One-tap Screen Off with Floating Button Use the floating button to turn the screen black anytime. Tap to return quickly — perfect when you want to keep audio playing without the bright display.
✨ Best uses • Play videos with screen off (audio continues) • Listen to podcasts or music with a black screen overlay • Watch live streams while reducing glare • Night mode comfort, less brightness in dark rooms • Record videos / take selfies with display black (device support may vary)
✅ Key Features • Floating Button: Quick toggle for black screen / screen off • Pure Black option: True black overlay for AMOLED/OLED • Battery saver: Helps reduce display power usage on compatible screens • Privacy Mode (Peep Protection): Hide content instantly in public • Pocket Mode: Prevent accidental touches (no ghost taps) • Always-On Display option: Keep essential info visible while black screen is active • Customizable: Adjust styles, button, and display options
🧭 How to use 1) Start a video, podcast, or stream 2) Open Black Screen and tap Start 3) Use the Floating Button anytime to enable screen off / blackout 4) Tap to return to your app 5) Open Black Screen and tap Stop to disable
⚠️ Important Black Screen is not a lock-screen app. It’s a black screen overlay shown on top of the app you’re using. This helps reduce screen brightness/activity and can help save battery on AMOLED devices.
🚀 Try Black Screen for a cleaner screen off experience — listen more, glare less, save battery.

★★★★★Michael Bell· Jun 29, 2026
Loved this app so much, I paid for the premium version! One thing I would love to see in a future update would be the ability to drag the floating lock button down the bottom center of the screen to dismiss it, like other apps do with floating windows etc.
★★★★★Hafiz Mumtaz· Jul 28, 2026
I mostly use the black screen feature and it has been really useful. It works exactly as expected, and I have never had any problems with it. It is simple, reliable, and does exactly what I need. For the purpose I use it for, I am happy to give it 5 stars.
★★★★★Jonathan Desulme· Jul 2, 2026
Work how it was design to work. If I could add a simple pin for accidental touches without needing advanced security just to unlock it.

Best app I have ever seen for afk/night game grinding, thank you! That's reduce your GPU and Battery usage, when you afk for long time.

It's a scam. I'm not 100% sure what this apps' purpose is, it creates a black overlay, not so much a screen in literal sense, if you want to practice blind texting then you may find use for it, but if you're looking for something to keep your phone from going crazy in your pocket then this isn't it, as an overlay is just another resource being used while you're screened is very much on. Edit: it's been over a year and returning, the app seems even worse now than before.
