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, 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.

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.
