I am not sure how to make it an Android screensaver because I am a Linux developer, I just ported it because SDL2 supports Android. And I think people nowadays don't use screensaver on Android.

I suggest to use it just as a clock with your old, unused Android phone, because they should be LCD screen. Please don't use it for long time on OLED screen (which is in most of new phones), because OLED screen will have scars if you display similar patterns for long time.

User reviews

Perfect. No ads, no fuss, just the clock and nothing but the clock. Excellent job! If there was one thing I'd add, it would be sound. Maybe long press could open settings for am/pm, sounds, colours, styles, etc. 😃 Even without all that, the fact this has no ads means my 5 star rating remains. 🙏🏻🌟

like most of the people reviewed: it's one of the best. would be very much appreciated if have dim options or auto turn off given a specific scenario

Simple & easy to use, just turn your phone, but I've been using the app on my Note 9 & FYI Android still has a Screensaver option, and that's a favorite option of mine so that's one star down, I would be able to use the app more if it did have it, so my 2 gripes are not having Screensaver option & not having screen burn protection, other than that great app!
