# Wakelit - Keep Screen On > Tired of your screen dimming during videos or recipes? Keep it on, per app. Canonical page: [https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.akiappsdev.wakelit](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.akiappsdev.wakelit) ## Overview - **ID:** `com.akiappsdev.wakelit` - **Platform:** Android - **Type:** Android app - **Status:** Available - **Publisher:** AkiAppsDev - **Category:** TOOLS - **Downloads:** 7 - **Version:** 1.0.8 - **Last updated:** 2026-05-22 - **First published:** 2026-05-15 - **Publisher country:** JP - **Size:** 8.74 MB - **Data as of:** 2026-09-12 - **Store listing:** [Google Play Store](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.akiappsdev.wakelit) - **Website:** [https://akiappsdev.com/](https://akiappsdev.com/) - **Privacy policy:** [https://privacy.akiappsdev.com/](https://privacy.akiappsdev.com/) ## Description You are watching a video, checking a recipe with wet hands, or settling into a long chapter of an e-book. Then the screen dims. You tap it. It dims again. Small thing, but it adds up.

Wakelit quietly fixes that.

Pick the apps where you want the screen to stay on, and Wakelit keeps it lit only while those apps are in the foreground. Switch to anything else and your phone goes back to its normal sleep behavior. No global "always on" toggle to remember, no shortcuts to fire off every time.

WHO IT'S FOR
- People who watch videos and hate tapping the screen every minute
- Cooks who follow recipes on their phone with messy hands
- Readers who want to enjoy long e-book sessions
- Musicians reading sheet music or chord charts while playing
- Anyone referencing maps, manuals, or instructions while doing something else

FEATURES
- Four modes you can pick per app:
- Always on: stay lit the entire time the app is open
- 30 minute timer: stay lit for 30 minutes after launch
- 60 minute timer: stay lit for 60 minutes after launch
- While charging: stay lit only when plugged in
- Dim the screen slightly to save battery while it stays on
- Auto stop when battery drops below 20%
- Quick Settings tile to toggle Wakelit with one tap
- Material 3 design, light and dark themes
