  • Usage Access and Overlay permissions are used strictly to detect open apps and display the visual border overlay.

Why Choose KMA?

Unlike “Keep Screen On” toggles that you have to turn on and off manually, DTO is “set it and forget it.” It only keeps the screen awake when you are actually using the apps you’ve selected, saving your battery when you don’t need it.

Important Permission Information

To provide its core functionality, DTO requires:

  1. Accessibility Service: This is used solely to detect which app is currently visible on your screen. This allows DTO to know exactly when to keep the screen on and when to show the border. We do not collect, store, or share any personal data or screen content.
  2. Overlay Permission: Allows DTO to display the visual border over your selected apps.
  3. Wake Lock: Ensures your device stays awake while your selected apps are in use.
