WakeUpScreen
• Sleep windows can apply to chosen weekdays
• New rules: low-battery silence and face-down silence
• Night Glow: optional dim red pulse during sleep windows
• Attention statistics reveal apps that wake the screen and never get looked at
• Settings export and import as a file
• In-app changelog shown once after each update
• Custom screen-on no longer locks after you unlock, and warns if its accessibility grant is missing
Features:
• 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:
1. Install and grant notification access. Only this single permission is required — your data never leaves your device.
2. Choose which apps can wake your screen. Let important messages through, filter the noise.
3. Live your life. WakeUpScreen runs silently in the background, lighting up on notification and staying dark in your pocket.
Additional features (all toggleable):
• Custom wake duration
• Do Not Disturb awareness — pauses wake-up while DND is enabled
• Sleep mode with custom quiet hours
• Persistent notification filtering — skips long-running notifications like music and navigation
• Charging-only filter — only wake when the device is charging
• Notification log with channel info (importance, sound, vibration)
• Function test page for diagnosing notification events

• Sleep mode, Do Not Disturb, pocket mode, charging-only mode and the app filter all still take priority over reminders, and ongoing notifications never count as unread
• New "Custom screen-on duration": the screen is held on for 3–30 seconds and then turned off, instead o
• Removed the optional "persistent notification (keep service alive)" setting (the only feature that used that permission). On aggressive devices, exempt the app from battery optimization instead
