App summary

Analyze keywords

Don't Sleep! is a lightweight app which allows you to manage the screen timeout and keep the screen on via the push of a button.

This application can be used to prevent your phone from sleeping (instead of modifying the Display Timeout in Settings, you can do this via the push of a button), or to set a sleep timer which you can use when watching videos on YouTube, or Netflix, or for any app which uses a Wakelock.

The application also supports setting a timer for pausing any media that is playing back, such as YouTube, or any Music Players.

The application adds a Tile which you can use as a shortcut to prevent your phone from sleeping, or set a timer for your screen to turn off.

In case the app appears not to work correctly on your device, please contact me with the problem and the device make/model (it appears not all devices support the way the application tries to keep the screen awake).

This app has been a life saver. As a baker reading new recipes, it is annoying to notice my screen has timed out when I have flour all over my hands and this app has rescued me from that. It is also nice to be able to keep my son's school bus monitor app active while I work so I can just look down at it while I work without having to worry about missing an update while unlocking it.

Because I have work apps installed on my phone I lack permission to set developer mode to allow my phone to remain unlocked during charging. But Google Assistant Gemini won't perform voice commands when the phone is locked, so this app hack-solves the problem when paired with Proximity Sensor Screen Off app and the phone is placed face down on a table.

stupid app. don't sleep more like don't work. when I have this set for two hours I mean two hours not 15 freaking minutes. if you don't know how to make apps learn before making them. I mean really I seen app 100% more harder work perfectly fine and yet you can't make a app that can accurately tell time that just sad.
