What's New in Blank Black Screen

2.8

October 21, 2026

• Pull any screen down: the top third can stay empty, for example under a video in picture-in-picture. • Start bar: the big Start button is on the right, and the small button on the left switches between Black and Nightstand settings. • Brightness swipe works smoothly all the way, also in Nightstand. • A clock dragged off screen glides back. • Tap the dark screen: Timer and Customize now show in the middle, not behind a video at the top. • Clock style: smaller preview with more room for settings, and Back and Done at the bottom. • iOS 26 or later: – Clearer help when alarms are turned off, with a shortcut to Settings. – Customize automations right from the clock style, with Back and Save at the bottom. • Bug fixes and improvements.

Black screen

The perfect black screen

Response from developer

Thank you, I like the app too. If you have ideas for improvement, you can always contact me on morten@punnerud.net :)

Not working

Not able to play any video. I don’t understand what is this app for?

Response from developer

Yes, it’s fixed now. Picture-in-picture was blocked by YouTube free version, should work again.

Empty

I just don’t get it. I found a video about this but I forgot it was on android. I searched and this was all that came up. I was so confused so I tapped the button and it told me to pay!

Response from developer

It’s a free 7 day trial and you are able to test and use the basic functionality without paying anything. If you think of the black screen app on Android, this can do the same so you can play YouTube for free. Just have to enable PiP in YouTube: Image of you, settings gear, playback and “Picture-In-Picture”. (The other app also cost money) The app don’t lock all the controls down, but the swipe back to settings make it safe enough for playing in the pocket for most users. Hope this helps? If there is any features you are missing, let me know and I will try to add them, as long as it don’t clutter the app for other users.
