Always On Display: AMOLED Edge

Always On Display: AMOLED Edge gives you a persistent always on display clock, edge lighting for notifications, and music-reactive border light - all in one app that auto-starts on screen lock and survives every reboot. Built for AMOLED screens with active burn-in protection so the AOD clock can stay on without wearing your panel.

⏰ Always on display, exactly when you need it

The AOD clock is just there - after the screen locks, after a restart, after the device wakes from doze. There is no "tap to enable", no banner asking you to grant a permission again. The persistence engine attaches the moment your phone locks and lets go only when your schedule says so. Many AOD apps stop working after a reboot; this one keeps going.

🔋 Battery that respects AMOLED

Pixels only light up when there is something to look at. A pocket detector pauses AOD when the phone is face-down or in a bag. Schedule windows turn off always on display during meetings, sleep, or work hours. Most users see under 3% overnight drain on AMOLED screens.

💡 Edge lighting that earns its glow

- Border light for missed notifications, calls, and alarms

- Per-app colors so you can read the room without unlocking

- Music-reactive edge lighting paints the rims of your screen with the song that is playing

- Notification light styles that stay subtle by default

🎵 Music on the edges

Edge music lighting moves with whatever Spotify, YouTube Music, or your podcast app is playing. Three visualizer modes - bar, ribbon, ambient - and they all play nice with edge lighting notifications without covering the AOD clock.

🧰 Customization that stays useful

Color, brightness, and dim curve sliders. Live preview while you tweak. Per-locale time formats. Wallpaper-aware accents that pull from your theme. The AOD clock library covers minimal, modern digital, analog, weather, and bedside layouts.

📱 AMOLED-first compatibility

Tested on Samsung, OnePlus, Oppo, Pixel, Xiaomi, and Realme. Optimized with the full feature set on AMOLED, and on AOD-capable LCD screens it runs in a reduced-brightness ambient mode.
