Application Release Dock — charging screensaver for Android (open source, no permissions)

So I made this thing — it's a screensaver that activates when your phone is charging, like a bedside display. Kind of inspired by iOS StandBy but this is its own thing. What it does:

  • Shows the time as a big clock on your screen while charging
  • 6 clock styles: clean minimal, neon glow, per-digit color, gradient sweep, bold mono, hollow outline
  • Photo slideshow background with crossfade
  • You can actually put real Android widgets on the screensaver (1-3 slots)
  • OLED mode for true black on AMOLED screens
  • Night dim — automatically tones down colors during sleep hours
  • Shake your phone and the digits do a spring physics bounce
  • Custom font support (bring your own .ttf)
  • Full color customization per element

Privacy side: zero network calls, no internet permission, no analytics, no storage permission needed (uses the system photo picker). It just stays on your device. Works on Android 8.0+.

Would be nice if there were a flip clock style (like the old bedside clocks of the 70s).
