Summary
StandBy Mode gives Android phones an iPhone-like charging screen, automatically showing two side-by-side widgets when the device is plugged in and idle.
The app goes beyond Apple’s version with trigger controls such as wireless-charging-only activation, plus auto-exit when the phone is picked up, unplugged or double-tapped.
Free features include clock styles, photo slideshows, weather clocks, burn-in protection and media controls for apps like Spotify and VLC; setup takes under 1 minute from the Play Store.
A one-time Pro upgrade removes ads and adds portrait mode, light-sensor Night Mode, extra widgets, more styles and custom background options, making the app useful as a bedside clock or desk display.
