Stay On

Tired of your screen going dark just when you need it, or of missing what is said in a video, a call or a voice message? StayOn keeps your display awake for as long as you want, and its new DUB feature turns speech into text in real time: live subtitles for anything your phone plays or hears, and silent transcription of WhatsApp voice notes.

🌟 KEY FEATURES

• Keep Screen Awake (Infinite or Timed)
Keep your display ON (0 = no limit) or set a duration in minutes. When the timer ends, StayOn turns off cleanly and your normal sleep timeout comes back.

• One-Tap START & Auto-Minimize
Tap START and keep working: StayOn runs in the background with an ongoing notification.

• NEW – DUB: Live Subtitles in Real Time
Press DUB and a floating popup shows the words as they are spoken, over any app. Great for videos without captions, calls, online lessons, noisy places and anyone hard of hearing. DUB writes subtitles: the original audio is not changed.
– Device audio: subtitles for the speech played by your phone (videos, calls, voice messages).
– Microphone: subtitles for what is said around you: a lesson, a meeting, the TV in the room.
– 6 languages: English, Italian, French, Spanish, German, Russian. Your phone's language is preselected.
– Speech is recognized with Google's on-device speech recognition where available.

• NEW – WhatsApp Voice Notes to Text
Can't listen right now? Share a WhatsApp voice note or an audio file (.opus, .wav, .mp3, .m4a) with StayOn: it is transcribed in the popup, silently, without playing through the speaker. Long-press the text to copy it.

• NEW – Optional AI Transcription (Gemini or OpenAI)
For shared voice notes you can turn on AI and use your own Google Gemini or OpenAI API key (a link to get a free trial Gemini key is in the DUB options). StayOn picks a current mid-range model for each key and checks for newer ones every week. Keys are stored encrypted, only on your device.

• Instant KILL
Tap KILL in the app, popup or notification to stop everything at once: zero wasted battery.

• Quick RESTART & Power Menu Shortcut
Open the official system Power menu with one tap, without worn-out hardware buttons.

• Remembers Your Preferences
Timer, audio source, language and AI choice are saved for next time.

📱 PERFECT FOR
• Reading & studying without touching the screen every 30 seconds
• Cooking: follow recipes with messy hands
• Navigation & travel: keep maps and itineraries visible
• Work: dashboards, charts, live scores
• Development: keep test devices awake during ADB sessions and builds
• Fitness: workout timers and yoga videos
• Presentations: notes and slideshows
• Accessibility: live subtitles for videos and calls, voice notes you can read instead of listening

🛡️ TRANSPARENT PERMISSIONS & PRIVACY
• Display over other apps: keeps the screen on across apps and shows the DUB subtitles popup.
• Notifications & foreground services: an ongoing notification always shows what is running, with KILL.
• Microphone: used only while DUB is active (the on-device speech recognizer requires it, also for shared files).
• Screen/audio capture (Device audio): Android asks for your consent; used only to hear the audio your phone plays while DUB is on. Nothing is recorded or saved.
• Internet: used only for the optional AI transcription of the files you share, sent to the AI service you chose, with your own key.
• Accessibility Service (optional): used solely to open the system Power/Restart dialog. StayOn does NOT read your screen, does NOT monitor keystrokes and does NOT collect personal data.

StayOn has no ads, no tracking and no analytics. Audio and transcripts are never stored or shared by StayOn: shared files stay in a private cache only during the transcription.
