Black screen overlay saves OLED battery during music, videos & podcasts
Black Screen: Screen Off Play — description
BlackPlay turns your screen completely black while your audio keeps playing — saving up to 70% battery on OLED and AMOLED displays. Perfect for listening to videos, music, podcasts, audiobooks, or any audio app without wasting power on screen brightness.
🔋 Save Battery. Keep Listening. Black Out Your Screen.
▶️ HOW IT WORKS Tap one button to activate a pure black (#000000) overlay. Your screen pixels turn off completely on OLED/AMOLED devices while audio from your favorite streaming, music, and podcast apps continues uninterrupted in the background.
🕐 ALWAYS-ON DISPLAY Choose from 80+ stunning clock styles for your black screen: • Digital & Analog • Minimal & Neon • Matrix & Retro Terminal • Flip Clock & Tube Style • Vaporwave & Pixel Retro • …and many more! Display battery percentage alongside the clock. Adjust brightness to your preference.
👆 SMART DISMISS GESTURES Choose how to exit the black screen: • Single Tap — tap anywhere to dismiss • Double Tap — prevents accidental wake with customizable interval • Long Press — hold and release to dismiss • Swipe — swipe to dismiss, taps are ignored
🔒 BIOMETRIC LOCK Secure your black screen with fingerprint or face unlock. Prevent kids, friends, or anyone from dismissing the overlay without your biometric authentication.
