See the mess. Wipe without the worry. Cleaning your screen should be simple. But when the display is asleep, dust and grime can be difficult to see. Touching it wakes the lock screen, where wiping can enter passcode digits, activate controls, or risk an unwanted emergency call. On an unlocked device, wiping can open apps, move icons, or trigger actions you never intended. In all of these situations, there is also no clear, evenly lit background to make dust, fingerprints, smudges, and grime stand out. Xcreen replaces those distractions with a solid cleaning surface that makes the mess easier to spot, whether you are giving your screen a quick wipe or a deeper clean. Ordinary taps inside Xcreen do nothing, so you can clean without worrying about accidental taps. CHOOSE YOUR CLEANING SCREEN • Select from six carefully chosen background colors • Create a custom solid color • Use different colors to reveal different dust, smudges, and streaks • Save your preferred color automatically PLACE YOUR EXIT CONTROL • Position the X in any corner • Keep it away from the area you are cleaning • Hold the X for one second when you are finished • Avoid exiting through an ordinary accidental tap • Save your preferred exit corner automatically MADE FOR CLEANING • Keeps the display awake while cleaning • Supports portrait and landscape orientations • Works on iPhone and iPad • Remembers your cleaning preferences XCREEN PRO Upgrade once with no subscription. • Remove the banner ad from Home • Optionally have Xcreen open directly to your cleaning screen • Start cleaning mode with your saved background color and exit corner already selected Xcreen prevents accidental taps inside the app; system gestures may still be enabled on your device.
