## Description

Keep Device On is a lightweight Android extension that prevents your screen and processor from sleeping without requesting internet permission or collecting data. Designed for privacy-conscious users, it offers a simple Material You UI, quick notification access, and options to ignore battery optimization for maximum reliability on devices that aggressively kill background apps.

Key features include blackout mode (a floating black window that leaves content behind unseen), an optional timer, auto-stop after manual screen-off, compatibility mode for Samsung/Xiaomi devices, and an adaptive Android icon. Tested on Android 6–13. Ideal when using shared drives, watching media, or using apps that don’t keep the screen on — all while keeping your device offline and untracked. For issues or feedback contact support@rperez.me.
