## Description

Always On is a lightweight utility that keeps your Android screen on permanently while automatically preventing screen burn-in through periodic screensavers.<br><br>Originally designed for repurposing old phones and tablets as always-on displays, dashboards, photo frames, or information screens — this app ensures your device stays awake without damaging the display over time.<br><br>Core Features:<br>• Always-On Display — Keep your screen on indefinitely. No need to tap or interact to prevent the screen from sleeping.<br>• Burn-in Prevention — Automatically displays a screensaver at regular intervals to prevent pixel burn-in and image retention. Choose your interval from 1 to 120 minutes.<br>• Scheduled Mode — Set active hours for your always-on display. During active hours, the screensaver runs normally. During inactive hours, the screen simulates power-off (dimmed to near-black) to further protect your display while keeping the service running.<br>• Multi-language Support — Available in English, Japanese, Chinese, and Spanish.<br><br>Use Cases:<br>• Repurpose an old phone as a desk clock<br>• Use a tablet as a kitchen recipe display<br>• Create a home dashboard showing weather, calendar, or smart home info<br>• Turn an old device into a digital photo frame<br>• Use as a showroom or point-of-sale display<br><br>Permissions:<br>• Overlay permission — for the tiny always-on screen overlay<br>• Foreground service — to keep running in the background<br>• Notification — for the persistent control notification<br>• Internet — only if you use the custom URL screensaver feature<br><br>No ads. No tracking. No personal data collection. Everything stays on your device.
