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 1.07 MB, so it installs quickly even on modest connections.
This build is signed by "F-Droid Open Source" — 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

This simple Android app can help you increase the standby time of your device;
it automatically disables your WiFi radio when you don't need it and thereby
lowers the battery consumption. It is designed to be used with WiFi-only tablets
- these devices normally don't require a constant internet connection if you're
not using them and turning WiFi off can save a lot of battery power.

You can also specify to automatically turn on WiFi again, if you turn on your
device. This way, you are always connected to your WiFi network when using the
the tablet.

This app has a similiar effect like setting the "WiFi sleep policy" in Android
to "always", except that you can now exactly define the timeout between turning
the screen off and actually turning off WiFi.

If your device has a cell radio, it might switch to 2G/3G which may consume more
power than staying on WiFi.

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 WiFi Automatic require?
Android 4.1+ or newer. Installing on older devices may cause crashes or refuse to install.

Is WiFi Automatic safe to install?
We link to the exact APK published by F-Droid Open Source. 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.
