WakeUpScreen
Your screen, awake when it matters.
An open-source Android app that gently wakes your display the moment a notification arrives. No cloud, no clutter, no compromise.
Features
Designed with intention
Every feature exists for a reason. Nothing more, nothing less.
Instant Wake
Your screen lights up the moment a notification arrives. Never miss what matters while your phone sits on the desk.
Pocket Mode
Intelligently detects when your phone is in a pocket or bag, and stays off. Saves battery where it counts.
App Filtering
Choose exactly which apps can wake your screen. Full control over what deserves your attention.
Dark Mode
A beautiful dark interface that feels at home on any AMOLED display. Easy on the eyes, easy on the battery.
No Internet
Runs entirely on your device. Zero data collected, zero servers contacted. Your privacy is absolute.
Lightweight
Minimal footprint, negligible battery impact. Built in Kotlin for native performance that just works.
How it works
Three steps to never miss a thing
Set it once and forget it. WakeUpScreen handles the rest.
Install and grant permission
WakeUpScreen only needs notification access to listen for incoming alerts. No other permissions required. Your data never leaves your device.
Choose your apps
Select which apps should wake your screen. Let important messages through while keeping the noise out. Adjust anytime.
That's it, live your life
WakeUpScreen runs silently in the background. When a notification comes in, your screen lights up. When your phone is in your pocket, it stays dark. Simple as that.
Open Source
Built in the open
WakeUpScreen is fully open-source. Inspect the code, contribute features, or fork it entirely. Transparency is not optional.
