About this app

On the free version, the modules will stop after 30 mins of continuous usage!
Full version is available through an in-app purchase for only 0.99 EUR / 1.49 USD


Lucid automatically starts when you put your device in the dock or when you charge it. The app is very customizable and comes with a lot of functionallity, like:

Clock: Show the current time & date and can also show...
... battery level
... weather
... unread GMails
... new SMS texts
... missed calls
... next alarm
... many more information from most DashClock extensions

RSS view: flips through new events from your RSS feeds

Slideshow view: start a slideshow with images from your device


On Android 4.2+ you need to enable the "DayDream" in the Android display settings to use & configure the app! Note that the system won't start the daydream if you're display is kept awake! Make sure to disable the "Keep awake while charging" option in the Android developer settings (if you have enabled that before). On Samsung devices, make sure to disable the "keep display on while eye contact is detected" option (or how they call that)


You can use the identifiers here http://developer.android.com/reference/java/text/SimpleDateFormat.html to change the time and date format

Stock android lacks a good screensaver that can be customized, and AMOLED phones lack a good way to define a different AOD while the phone is charging. This accomplishes that in an effective, albeit basic way. I'm happy with what I was able to do and the relative ease of doing it. However, I feel it's missing several key features that prevent it from feeling perfect and finished. The position of the modules is randomized to prevent screen burning in certain devices. Understanding that this is not an issue with my device, this should be optional. A warning could be added if damage is a concern. There should be an option to rearrange the different modules in whatever order you see fit. Speaking of modules, there's no text module to display user-defined text. My name, a cute message, whatever. The music module is extremely basic and feels horrible to use. Song information is missing and can be retrieved. Next / previous buttons are missing. Pulling up the module itself is very difficult, and it isn't immediately clear what it does. The app itself stays in the recent tray after it's closed, rather than terminating. I personally don't like tray clutter, this seems like an oversight.

Im loving this app so far. I was looking for a screensaver that did a random order slideshow of a specific set of pictures while phone is docked and/or charging. And this app is the only 1 i found that does exactly what i want. The only feature i wish was added is the ability to dim the screen with the picture slideshow screensaver. You can set it to dim the screen when using the clock, but not with the picture slideshow. Other than that, its an amazing app. Worth checking out for sure. 👍 👍

This is probably the best and most customizable screensaver I game ever found in the store. Everyone should try this. But some more features are required, such as displaying number of SMS and an automatic image slideshow. Please correct an issue: after running the screen saver for some time, the battery icon and battery level disappears.
