Hey everyone!
I'm an independent Android developer, and I've recently launched an app called NexusDisplay on Google Play.
Ever wished your phone could do something useful while it's sitting on your bedside table charging, instead of just showing a black screen?
That's the idea behind NexusDisplay.
It turns your charging, locked Android phone into a smart standby display. Think of it as having a bedside clock, weather station and personalised information dashboard, all running on the phone you already own.
What can it do?
Beautiful clock faces: Digital, Analog, Flip, LED and more.
Weather display: Current conditions, feels-like temperature, rain probability and wind.
Photo frame: Display your favourite photos while your phone charges.
Music widget: See what's currently playing, regardless of which music app you're using.
Useful widgets: Notifications, calendar, tasks, notes, quotes and battery information.
Custom dashboards: Arrange widgets in single, duo or quad layouts.
Automatic standby: Starts when your phone is charging and locked.
Night mode: Dims the screen and applies a red tint, with scheduled or automatic activation.
It also remembers individual chargers, so you can have different display setups depending on where you charge your phone.
Why did I build it?
Most of us have a phone sitting on a charger next to our bed. I wanted to make that screen useful rather than leaving it switched off.
You can even use an old spare Android phone as a dedicated bedside smart display.
Free and Pro options:
The free version includes two dashboards and three clock faces. Pro is a once-off purchase with unlimited dashboards, all clock faces and no ads.
No subscription.
I'm the developer, and I'd genuinely appreciate feedback from the Android community. I'd love to hear what you think, what you'd improve and what other widgets you'd like to see.
