Keep Your iPhone Screen On Without Installing Anything

Keep Screen On is a free browser tool that keeps your iPhone screen on and prevents it from turning off while this page remains open. Choose a time limit or No Limit, press Start, and keep your iPhone display awake without changing Auto-Lock or other iOS settings.

The tool uses the Screen Wake Lock feature supported by Safari and other modern browsers on iOS to prevent screen dimming, screen sleep, and automatic locking while the timer is running. It does not change your iPhone settings, and there is nothing to download or install from the App Store.

It works on iPhone and iPad in Safari, Chrome, and other supported browsers. Whether you need to keep your iPhone display on for a few minutes or keep your device awake for hours, you can start the timer and let it run until you're finished.

Why keep your iPhone screen awake?

The most common reason to keep your iPhone screen on is to stay marked as online or active in work apps, messaging platforms, remote desktop sessions, and social media without your iPhone entering sleep mode or locking while you're away.

It is also useful while downloads, uploads, backups, updates, and other long-running tasks are in progress on your iPhone or iPad. Keeping your display awake helps prevent screen timeout, screen dimming, and interruptions caused by Auto-Lock.

You can also use it whenever you want to keep your iPhone display on, avoid repeated Face ID or passcode prompts, prevent screen sleep during presentations, or simply stop your iPhone from sleeping for a while without changing your normal Auto-Lock settings.

Open a device-specific page for iPhone, Android, Mac, Windows, or Linux — same free browser wake lock, no signup.

How it works

  2. Press Start.
  3. Leave this page open while the timer is running.

Frequently asked questions

iPhone Auto-Lock checklist

How temporary wake lock relates to Auto-Lock — and what to verify before a long on-screen session.

System Auto-Lock
Controls when iPhone locks after idle time. Keep Screen On does not edit this setting.
Browser wake lock
Holds the display awake only while this Safari or Chrome tab keeps an active session.
After you stop
Auto-Lock and Low Power Mode behave as before — nothing permanent was changed.
Before you start
  • Use Safari or a Chromium-based browser with Wake Lock support on your iOS version
  • Leave this tab in the foreground for the most reliable keep-awake behavior
  • Choose Always On for open-ended demos, or Custom for a known duration
  • Press Stop when finished so the display can dim and lock normally again
  • Expect managed devices with forced passcode policies to still lock on schedule
