## Description

StandBy transforms your Android into a beautiful, always-on desk, bedside, and night clock — completely free and ad-free. Inspired by iOS StandBy Mode, it offers multiple clock and StandBy-style layouts, photo frame and quote modes, Pomodoro timers, and 500+ gradient and solid themes for a minimal, modern workspace or nightstand display.

Designed for eye comfort and long-term use, StandBy includes auto-dim, red-tint for late-night viewing, OLED burn-in protection with pixel shifting, and battery-friendly optimizations for continuous use on charging docks or wireless stands. Fully unlocked with no paywalls, it’s ideal for users who want a calm, customizable clock for their desk or bedroom. Coming soon: AOD support, widgets, world clock, music integration, and smart auto-launch when charging.
