Only while your app is open
Pick an app you need continuous eyes on, like navigation, recipes, or a stock chart. The screen stays awake while it's in the foreground, and reverts to your normal timeout 20 seconds after you leave it.

com.starry.steellightStillLight Keep the screen awake only when you actually need it
StillLight stops your screen from going dark every 30 seconds while you're following a recipe or checking maps, so you don't have to keep tapping the glass with messy hands.
It doesn't alter your phone's display timeout setting. It keeps the screen awake only while your chosen condition is met, and your normal timeout takes over again when it ends.
Choose from charging, USB, specific apps, Bluetooth devices, battery level, or a timer, or just tap one switch to keep it on manually.

SCREENSHOTS
FEATURES
Features
Only while plugged in
Keep the screen awake while charging or connected over USB. Handy when using your phone on a stand as a desk clock or dashboard monitor.
Only when connected to your car
Keep the screen on while a chosen Bluetooth device is connected. Select your car's Bluetooth and navigation stays awake the moment you connect.
Only for as long as you set
Set hours and minutes, and the screen stays awake for that duration before returning to your normal sleep settings.
Only when there's battery to spare
Keep the screen awake only while your battery charge is at 50% or above to avoid battery drain.
One tap to keep it on
When you just want the screen to stay on unconditionally, turn on Always On and it stays awake until you manually switch it off.

FAQ
FAQ
Is StillLight free?
Yes. It's free with ads, and there are no in-app purchases or subscriptions.
Does it change my phone's screen timeout?
No. It keeps the screen awake only while your conditions are met. Once they end, your phone goes back to its own screen timeout.
Why does it need accessibility permission?
Only to tell whether your chosen app is currently open, for the Specific App condition. If you don't use that condition, you don't need to grant it.
Won't it drain my battery?
The display uses more battery while it stays on. Using it alongside Charging, Timer, or Battery Level prevents the screen from staying awake when you don't need it.
