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.

★★★★★ GreenOnion · Jun 11, 2026

I think this app is really useful if you want to play music or videos while your phone is off. The app doesn't make them play in background, it only turns your screen black when your phone is on, which also saves battery. Many of the features are free, like pocket mode, to protect against accidental touches while your phone is in your bag or pocket. The app contains ads, at an acceptable level —usually only one pops up when I open the app. This app definitely deserves 5 stars.

One year ago, when I started, the ad used to come only once, now the ad has started coming again and again, due to which There are a lot of ads coming in it and it opens automatically.

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.
