F-Droid repository metadata
Stims lets you select apps that should prevent your screen from turning off. When a stimmed app is active in the foreground, the screen stays on at full brightness. When you switch to a different app, the screen resumes normal sleep behavior.
Select apps to stim from the list, tap "Stim Selected Apps", and a background service will monitor the foreground app and hold a wake lock whenever one of your chosen apps is active.
Requires Usage Access permission to detect which app is in the foreground.

How to install
- Download the APK from the button at the top of this page.
- Allow “Install unknown apps” for your browser or file manager only, not for every app.
- Open the downloaded file and confirm the installation.
- If installation fails with “App not installed,” remove an earlier build of the same app first. A signature conflict is the usual cause.
Data safety
- Every file is checked against its published SHA-256 before it is listed.
- Files are scanned for malware on every update.
- The permissions each app requests are listed on its own page.
- Read the full safety policy for how we test, flag, and delist files.
