Most smartphones these days have long-living batteries, but who doesn't want their phone to last for just an hour more?
While using an app, you maybe not nessesarily need your display. So, why don’t turn it off? Up to 20% of your battery
power is consumed by the display.



FakeStandby is an Android app to turn off your screen while keeping apps running. This includes foreground jobs, which means
you can keep


  • listening to music on YouTube

  • staying online on WhatsApp and other text messengers

all with your screen turned off.
