Description

From the listing uploaded by “aplicationpaidprofree”.

🎬 Play videos with screen off using Black Screen, a lightweight black screen overlay for Android that lets audio keep playing while your display turns black. Enjoy an audio-only mode experience for music videos, podcasts, streams, and long playback sessions. 🔋 Battery saver for AMOLED & OLED Black Screen displays pure black, which can help reduce power usage on AMOLED and OLED devices (black pixels draw little to no power). It’s a simple way to save battery while listening. 🕶️ Privacy Mode (Peep Protection) In public? Enable Privacy Mode to instantly hide on-screen content and prevent shoulder-surfing — while the app underneath keeps running. ⚡ One-tap Screen Off with Floating Button Use the floating button to turn the screen black anytime. Tap to return quickly — perfect when you want to keep audio playing without the bright display. ✨ Best uses • Play videos with screen off (audio continues) • Listen to podcasts or music with a black screen overlay • Watch live streams while reducing glare • Night mode comfort, less brightness in dark rooms • Record videos / take selfies with display black (device support may vary) ✅ Key Features • Floating Button: Quick toggle for black screen / screen off • Pure Black option: True black overlay for AMOLED/OLED • Battery saver: Helps reduce display power usage on compatible screens • Privacy Mode (Peep Protection): Hide content instantly in public • Pocket Mode: Prevent accidental touches (no ghost taps) • Always-On Display option: Keep essential info visible while black screen is active • Customizable: Adjust styles, button, and display options 🧭 How to use 1) Start a video, podcast, or stream 2) Open Black Screen and tap Start 3) Use the Floating Button anytime to enable screen off / blackout 4) Tap to return to your app 5) Open Black Screen and tap Stop to disable ⚠️ Important Black Screen is not a lock-screen app. It’s a black screen overlay shown on top of the app you’re using. This helps reduce screen brightness/activity and can help save battery on AMOLED devices. 🚀 Try Black Screen for a cleaner screen off experience — listen more, glare less, save battery.
