Have you ever wanted to keep your device’s screen on longer than your device display’s default sleep timeout? Want to make your screen go to max brightness when you are using navigation or viewing your vacation photos? With Wakey, you can keep your screen on as long as you like.
Wakey keeps your screen lit on your terms. Make the screen fully bright, dim, or even completely dark while the phone is still awake and working. Wakey can also be set to keep your screen on when certain apps or games are active, when the device is charging, when connected to certain Bluetooth devices, or when you use the device.
Enable Wakey manually with the big bulb right in the app at any time and tap it again to disable it. There’s also a Quick-Setting Tile or a Widget to make toggling even more convenient. Set up Wakey just how you like it!
Wakey Premium
(Available as an in-app upgrade) has several features that will make your life even easier:
- SmartWake: Keep your screen awake while you are using the device.
- AppWake: Automatically keep your screen awake when certain apps are in the foreground. If you want to keep the screen on to see album art while music is playing or while playing games, this feature is great for you.
If you have limited dexterity, AppWake allows you to ensure the screen stays on while you use apps requiring extra time to navigate and allows the screen to turn off quickly all other times.
Note: When the AppWake Accessibility Service is enabled, it monitors which apps are in the foreground on your device so it can enable Wakey as configured. The Wakey accessibility service cannot see the contents of the window or anything that you type, nor can it listen to the microphone or use the camera. No data about your specific use of AppWake is collected or shared with anyone.
- ChargeWake: Automatically keep your screen awake when it’s charging.
- BtWake: Keep your screen on when you have Bluetooth devices connected to the device.

Accessibility and User Comments:
I haven't encountered any accessibility issues while testing the app. All buttons and UI elements seem to be labeled.
To set hours and minutes, you use the sliders, which can be moved using the screen reader's slider movement functionality.
To remove the ads, you must purchase the Pro version, which costs about 3 dollars. I didn't come across any full-screen ads during my test.
The only issue I found is that the state is not reported when using the home screen widget; you only hear "switch" without the actual on or off state.
Note that I only tried the free version, so I cannot comment on the accessibility of Pro features.
Last Tested App version and Android version:
App version: 11.0.0, Android 15
I already paid for the app but after I restart my phone it revert back to normal (not premium) but if I refresh my license it will become premium. Anyone have encountered same problem?
