Editor's Overview

WakeUpScreen is a notification application developed by riko, packaged as a single Android APK of version 4.2 weighing in at 3.47 MB. The package targets Android 4.1+ and above. Below you'll find the publisher's own description, a quick spec sheet, and a short buyer-beware checklist so you know exactly what you're installing before tapping download.

Install Checklist

Only download through the button on this page — never from third-party mirrors or shortened links, which are the most common way malware spreads.
File size is a light 3.47 MB, so it installs quickly even on modest connections.
This build is signed by "riko" — always verify the developer name matches what's listed on the app's official store page before installing an update.
After install, Android may prompt you to allow "Install from unknown sources" — approve only this one install, then revoke the permission in Settings > Apps > Special access.
We link directly to the APK file or the publisher's repository; we do not modify the binary. Always run a virus scan after any sideloaded install.

About this app

WakeUpScreen is an open-source Android app that gently wakes your display the moment a notification arrives. No cloud, no clutter, no compromise.

Features:

• Instant Wake — Your screen lights up the moment a notification arrives. Never miss what matters while your phone sits on the desk.

• Pocket Mode — Intelligently detects when your phone is in a pocket or bag, and stays off. Saves battery where it counts.

• App Filtering — Choose exactly which apps can wake your screen. Full control over what deserves your attention.

• Dark Mode — A beautiful dark interface that feels at home on any AMOLED display. Easy on the eyes, easy on the battery.

• No Internet — Runs entirely on your device. Zero data collected, zero servers contacted. Your privacy is absolute.

• Lightweight — Minimal footprint, negligible battery impact. Built in Kotlin for native performance that just works.

How It Works:

1. Install and grant notification access. Only this single permission is required — your data never leaves your device.
2. Choose which apps can wake your screen. Let important messages through, filter the noise.
3. Live your life. WakeUpScreen runs silently in the background, lighting up on notification and staying dark in your pocket.

Additional features (all toggleable):

• Custom wake duration
• Do Not Disturb awareness — pauses wake-up while DND is enabled
• Sleep mode with custom quiet hours
• Persistent notification filtering — skips long-running notifications like music and navigation
• Charging-only filter — only wake when the device is charging
• Notification log with channel info (importance, sound, vibration)
• Function test page for diagnosing notification events

Built with Jetpack Compose and Material 3. Licensed under GPLv3. No ads, no tracking, no network permission.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is WakeUpScreen free to download?
Yes. The APK file linked from this page is free. The developer may offer in-app purchases once installed, but obtaining the installer itself costs nothing.

What Android version does WakeUpScreen require?
Android 4.1+ or newer. Installing on older devices may cause crashes or refuse to install.

Is WakeUpScreen safe to install?
We link to the exact APK published by riko. We do not modify the file. Still, as with any sideloaded app, scan it with a reputable antivirus before opening it, and only grant permissions the app genuinely needs.

How do I update WakeUpScreen?
Install the newer version on top of the old one — Android will keep your data. If the signature differs, uninstall first (you may lose local progress).

Why is the app not installing?
Common causes: not enough storage, an older Android version than 4.1+, or a conflicting build already installed. Free up space, check your OS version, and uninstall any previous copy before retrying.
