Features

Everything you need.
Nothing you don't.

Powerful for power users. Simple enough to use blind in the dark.

Quick Presets

One-tap shutdown timers at 15, 30, or 60 minutes. Remote-friendly and instantly usable from your couch.

On-Screen Overlay

A minimalist countdown stays visible on top of any streaming app – Netflix, YouTube, Plex, or anything else.

Zero Ads, Forever

A utility this simple should never be cluttered with ads. The free version is clean, honest, and distraction-free.

Remote Optimized

Built natively for the Android TV interface. Large, accessible buttons designed for D-pad and remote navigation – no touchscreen needed.

No Account Needed

Download, open, and set your timer in under 10 seconds. No signup, no account, no personal data collected.

Phone & Tablet Ready

Use Sleep Timer on your phone or tablet just as naturally as on TV. The interface adapts to touchscreens – tap, set, done. Same great experience, whatever screen you reach for.

Custom Durations

Set any duration you need – 7 minutes, 45 minutes, 2 hours. No limit, your exact preference.

Exact Clock Time

Schedule the TV to shut off at a specific time – "turn off at 11:30 PM" – perfect for bedtime routines.

"Still Watching?" Prompt

A gentle nudge appears before shutdown. If you're awake, extend with one button press. If you're asleep – bed wins.

Last Timer Recall

One tap to repeat your last timer settings. Build your perfect bedtime ritual without rethinking it every night.

Pause & Control

Full pause, resume, +/- minute controls without restarting the app. Stay in charge even after the timer starts.

Smart Extension

Mid-show bathroom break? Extend the timer without navigating away. Seamless, smooth, and frictionless.

Burn-In Protection

The overlay uses pixel-shifting technology – gently repositioning the timer graphic to prevent static image retention on OLED & LED displays.

Timer Styles

Choose the timer look that fits your screen best. Pro unlocks multiple overlay styles so you can match visibility, aesthetics, and placement to your setup.

FAQ

Common questions.

Everything you want to know before installing.

Yes! Sleep Timer is fully compatible with Google TV and Chromecast with Google TV, as well as every device running Android TV 8.0 or later – including NVIDIA Shield, Sony Bravia, Xiaomi Mi Box, TCL, Hisense, Philips, and Sharp.

The core app is 100% free and permanently ad-free. You can set 15, 30, or 60-minute auto-shutdown timers at zero cost, forever. The optional Pro upgrade is a one-time in-app purchase that unlocks custom durations, exact clock-time scheduling, selectable timer styles, the Still Watching prompt, and more – no subscription, ever.

The timer overlay uses pixel-shifting technology – it subtly moves the on-screen graphic by a few pixels at regular intervals. This prevents any single pixel from displaying a static image for too long, actively protecting your OLED or LED display from permanent image retention (burn-in) damage. Your expensive screen investment is safe.

Android TV doesn't offer a standard API for third-party apps to power off the device. The Accessibility Service permission lets Sleep Timer display its overlay on top of other streaming apps and execute the shutdown command when your timer expires. No personal data is accessed or monitored. This is confirmed under Google's Play Families Policy review.

The "Still Watching?" prompt (Pro feature) appears on screen a few minutes before the timer is up. If you're still awake and watching, one button press extends your session – no need to re-open or reset the app. If you've already fallen asleep, the countdown finishes and the TV powers off automatically. Best of both worlds.

Absolutely. Set a timer before the kids start watching and the TV will power off when time is up – automatically, no negotiating. With the Pro upgrade, you can also schedule an exact shutdown time (e.g. "always off by 9:00 PM") for a consistent, rule-based routine that runs itself.

Yes – with the Pro upgrade. You get full pause/resume controls and +/- minute adjustments without stopping and restarting the timer. The free version uses convenient set-and-forget presets that work great for most use cases.

Yes. Sleep Timer for Android TV is fully tested and compatible with NVIDIA Shield TV and Shield TV Pro, as well as Xiaomi Mi Box S/4K, Mi Stick, Sony Bravia Android TV lineup, all Google TV devices, TCL, Hisense, Philips, Sharp, and any device running Android TV 8.0 or later.

Zero. No personal data is collected, no tracking, no analytics sent to third parties. Sleep Timer has been reviewed and verified under Google's Play Families Policy. It's a simple utility – it does one thing well, and your privacy is none of its business.

Not at all. The app is extremely lightweight – its purpose is to turn your TV off, saving power. It runs a simple background countdown and an optional lightweight overlay. Most Android TV devices are plugged in permanently, so this is essentially a non-issue.

No — it's a one-time purchase.

The price varies by country and is shown before purchase in the app.
