Do you own a device with an OLED screen and run a long-running background task on it? And, do you want that task to keep running while minimizing battery use and avoiding screen burn-in? This app is perfect for that situation! This app shows the black screen when it starts, and prevents the device from sleeping by acquiring the screen wake-lock. It is intended for devices that have an OLED display.
