Hello,
I made an app which lets you watch youtube with screen off (it's just a black layer)
The app is most effective for AMOLED displays as it draws a black rectangle over youtube (or any other app) on request
Why did I need it:
Most of the lengthy videos I watch such as music albums, science talks, radio podcasts, etc do not need the video display but rather just the audio
It's a good way to save battery, I used to get around 15% on the next morning, now it's about 35%
How to use it:
Tap on the sticky notification if enabled. After the configured delay (default: 5s) a black layer will "turn the screen off"
Tap on the floating button inside the app to have the same effect
Tap on the black layer to remove it and switch your display back on

Attachment 3663312
Developed and Tested on S6 Edge (5.1.1)
Things I should do:
- Make removing black layer by double tap on long press to avoid "accidentally" removing when phone is in pocket (subscribe, maybe I will roll down a few updates/revisions)
- Make app start with android (option)
- Test on Android 6 Marshmallow
Looking forward to your feedback
Thank you
