Let's suppose I'm playing an idle game where things inside only happen when the game is running in foreground, or listening to music on YouTube, which also must be running in foreground to work. But when the screen is locked (turned off), all foreground activity gets suspended. Is there a way (like some 3rd party software) to somehow just turn off the screen (maybe even without locking the touch surface functioning) so that it wouldn't drain power and the foreground app would still work?

automation apps might help to create such action on long-press – alecxs Jul 24 '20 at 01:24

turning the screen brightness down is already a step in that direction, and there are apps that can dim the brightness further afaik – xeruf Jun 24 '22 at 22:09

Does this answer your question? How to turn off screen without affecting anything else? – xeruf Jun 24 '22 at 22:10
