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.

★★★★★ Aleksandr · Apr 17, 2026

Great! Seems like the only way to force android sync in standby mode is to use app like this + always screen on when charging from developer options. Perfectly saves all oled pixels and in same time prevents android from sleeping
