Share My Creation SleepClock - The clock that doesn't wake you up

Waking up at night, looking for the time, and being flash-blinded by the phone screen?

Turn an old AMOLED phone into a night clock, with eyes-saving features.
Screen brightness is reduced to minimum to prevent eyes strain in complete darkness and the default clock color is red, to keep pupils from contracting.

Note: this is not an alarm watch: you can continue to use the system clock, on the same phone, for that.

Some care has been applied to preserve AMOLED displays from burn-in:
The clock is slowly moved across the screen, so it won't hit always the same pixels
All screen pixels are turned off in a rotating scheme once a second

This app uses immersive mode, to remove Android interface elements from screen and uses a gesture to exit to avoid unwanted touches.

SleepClock uses the following technologies:

• B4XPages
• B4XPreferences
• ViewEx
• BitmapCreator
• Localizator (English/Italian)
• ASViewPager

While B4XPages doesn't natively support dynamic switching between portrait and landscape, the app retains the orientation the phone is, at app startup

[B4XPages] Lock screen orientation based on how device is held when App is started.

I have an App that can handle both orientations, so I wanted the user's preference to be reflected in how the App was oriented. I searched the Forum, but I couldn't find what I needed. In "Main" Activity prior to initializing page manager do this. 'set... #SupportedOrientations...

Thanks for this app. I installed it and it looks very fine.
Any chance to add a function to read the setting of the standard alarm and display the next coming alarm on your screen.
There is no direct need to set an alarm via your app.
Another addition would be to show (at startup of the app only) if power is provided to the phone.

But no rush or pressure, it is already fine as it is.

let me see if I’ve got your request correctly:
you want to see onscreen, the next alarm time which is set on the android standard clock?
and an indication if the phone is currently plugged in the charger?

Hi Alessandro71.

That's exactly what I mean .

Hi Alessandro71.

That's exactly what I mean .

update from the play store and you're in for a surprise (be sure check the in-app settings to enable the new features)

Wow, that's what I call Quick Service. Thank you very much, I love your work on this.
I had another app for this purpose and I have discarded it in favor of your app.
