Pocket Mode: video screen off

🎧 Keep listening with your screen black

Pocket Mode: Screen Off is a lightweight black screen overlay for Android that lets your video, music, podcast, or stream keep playing while your display appears black.

It is useful when you want to listen without watching, reduce screen brightness, avoid accidental touches, or keep your phone in your pocket while playback continues.

⚫ Black screen overlay

Pocket Mode does not stop your app. It simply shows a black overlay on top of your current screen, so the app underneath can keep running.

Perfect for:

• Music videos

• Podcasts

• Live streams

• Long videos

• Background listening

• Night listening

• Pocket use

👆 Block accidental touches

Enable Pocket Mode when your phone is in your pocket, on your desk, or in your hand while listening. The black overlay helps prevent unwanted taps, swipes, and accidental screen touches.

⚡ Quick access with floating button

Use the floating button to enable or disable the black screen anytime without leaving your current app. Start your video or audio, tap the floating button, and continue listening with fewer distractions.

🔲 Quick Settings tile support

Pocket Mode also supports a Quick Settings tile, so you can enable or disable the black screen directly from your notification shade.

🌙 Better for dark rooms

Reduce glare when watching or listening at night. Pocket Mode helps keep your screen dark while your audio continues playing.

🔋 AMOLED / OLED friendly

On AMOLED and OLED screens, black pixels may use less power compared to bright screens. Pocket Mode can help reduce screen brightness and may help save battery depending on your device and display type.

⚠️ Important note

Pocket Mode: Screen Off is not a real screen-off or lock-screen app. It uses a black overlay on top of your current app. Your screen is still technically on, but the overlay helps reduce brightness, block touches, and create a screen-off style experience.

Pocket Mode is made for simple, distraction-free listening.

Keep listening. Block accidental touches
