Screen On Timer - Keep Awake

Does your screen keep turning off at the worst moment?

Screen Always On Timer solves one problem perfectly: it keeps your display awake for exactly as long as you need — no longer, no shorter. Set a timer, tap start, and your screen stays on until the countdown ends, then silently returns to your normal timeout settings to save battery.

⏱️ WHY SCREEN ALWAYS ON TIMER?

Most Android phones turn off the screen after 30 seconds to a few minutes. That's fine for everyday scrolling, but terrible when you need to keep your screen awake while cooking, presenting, working out, or running a timed experiment. Our app keeps your display active reliably using core Android methods, accompanied by a persistent status notification so the system never kills the timer in the background.

✅ KEY FEATURES 🔆 Always Awake Mode — Your screen never sleeps while the timer is running. ⏳ Custom Countdown Timer — Set a custom duration (in minutes or hours) that fits your exact needs. 🔌 Smart Charging Mode — Automatically keep the screen on while your device is plugged in and charging. 📱 Floating Overlay Button — A convenient one-tap on/off toggle that sits on top of any other app. 🔋 Battery Protection — Automatically stop the timer or get a warning when your battery drops below a custom low-battery threshold. ⚡ Quick Settings Tile — Toggle the screen override directly from your Android notification drop-down. 🏠 Home Screen Widget — Start or stop the timer with a single tap directly from your home screen.

👥 WHO USES SCREEN ALWAYS ON TIMER?

👨‍🍳 Cooks & Chefs — Keep recipes visible while your hands are busy. 🏋️ Athletes — Monitor workout routines, rest periods, and interval timers without the screen turning off. 👩‍🏫 Teachers & Presenters — Track presentation time without constantly touching your phone. 🧘 Meditators — Keep your meditation timer visible throughout your session. 🎓 Students — Stay focused with Pomodoro and study timers that remain on-screen. 🔬 Researchers — Monitor long experiments and processes without screen timeout. 📖 Readers — Read eBooks, PDFs, or articles without your screen going dark.

⚙️ HOW IT WORKS

Open the app, or use the widget/overlay.
Select or set your timer duration.
Tap Start. Your screen stays fully awake until the timer finishes. Once the time is up, the app silently stops and allows your normal screen timeout to take over. That's it.
