About

Turn off the screen backlight without switching off the screen! Perfect for listening to music videos.
Most video players stop playback when the screen is turned off. This app switches only the screen backlight off but not the complete screen. Save battery and enjoy playback without the backlight staying on!
To turn the backlight on again, simply touch the display.
Important: This app requires root. Use at your own risk. If you don't know what "root" is, then don't install this app. It won't work without root!

Features

● Notification to quickly switch off screen backlight
● Single or double tap to deactivate
● Option to automatically activate when screen turns off
● Configurable activation delay
● Configurable overlay color and transparency
● Timeout
● Floating activation button (optional, enabled via additional notification)
● Setting to keep screen on (usually not required)
● Shortcut (allows other apps, e.g., automation tools, to switch off the backlight via this app)

If you are using MIUI ROM: Please enable "Show popup window" for this app via the system settings.

Questions & Answers

Q: What is an APK File?

A: Just like Windows (PC) systems use an .exe file for installing software, Android does the same. An APK file is the file format used for installing software on the Android operating system.

Q: If I install an APK from this website, will I be able to update the app from the Play Store?

A: Yes, absolutely. The Play Store installs APKs it downloads from Google's servers, and sideloading from a site like ApkClean.net goes through a very similar process, except you're the one performing the downloading and initiating the installation (sideloading).
As soon as the Play Store finds a version of the app newer than the one you've sideloaded, it will commence an update.

Q: Why ApkClean.net can guarantee APK 100% safe?

A: Whenever someone wants to download an APK file from ApkClean.net, we'll check the corresponding APK file on Google Play and allow user download it directly (of course, we'll cache it on our server). If the APK file does not exist on Google Play, we'll search it in our cache.

Q: What are Android App permissions?

A: Apps require access to certain systems within your device. When you install an application, you are notified of all of the permissions required to run that application.

Don't hesitate to contact us if you have any questions or concerns.

User's Reivew

3 ★could be good but seems to disable my screen. I mirror to car stereo and then turn off backlight all fine but then the touchscreen doesnt work. i think maybe it puts a screen overlay which stops it working. I made overlay transparent but still wont allow touches except to unlock screen. for playing videos it will work but not for my purpose unless touchscreen still works.
5 ★Very useful app especially for afk game moments!
5 ★Quite outdated but does exactly what expected and it does it perfectly. A needed feature it's a sub-app that turns off the backlight on launch, usefully for NFC app launching commands.
5 ★Works very nicely on my Xiaomi Redmi 5 Plus with Lineage OS 15.1 Can use timelapse mode on camera app with screen turned off thus saving a lot of battery.
5 ★When I first installed it I couldn't get it to work with a program I needed it to work with. I emailed the developer and we had it working very quickly. He even updated the app so no one else will have that problem. I use it on jellybean and lollipop
1 ★Nexus 5 on lollipop. All it does is put up the overlay and block all touch input until I deactivate it. Other users seemed to have positive experiences with this app, so it may be a relatively be bug. Refunding for now until it's fixed maybe.
4 ★nice
5 ★Now, with double tap deactivation option, screen will remain off when kept in my pocket. Thank you guys for the great app.
5 ★Really awesome if you could add a deactivation timer, so the screen can turn on and be used as silent timer. thanks! Update: Love the new timed features! 5 stars :)
5 ★Now I could listen to the music in Youtube videos with display turned off.. Works like a charm in Android 5.1..
