Quick summary
Always On: Edge Music Lighting, created by Sparkine Labs, is a free personalization app that adds animated lighting along your screen borders that responds to audio. It also includes a variety of customizable lock-screen clock widgets inspired by different manufacturer styles and themes.
Core capabilities
- Seamless integration with widely used music players and streaming services for responsive visual effects
- Edge-based music visualizer that animates lighting along the display perimeter in time with audio
- A selection of lock-screen clock styles influenced by popular skins and brands
- Full lock-screen replacement with optional Always-On display support
- Multiple ways to pick colors and effects, including presets and a color wheel
- Built-in measures to reduce AMOLED burn-in by keeping elements in motion
- A note on power: devices without OLED panels may see higher battery consumption
Personalization options
You can tune the look and behavior extensively: choose different illumination patterns, tweak hues and intensity, and swap between clock designs for the lock screen. The color wheel and preset palettes give both quick and fine-grained control over appearance.
Performance and battery
The app includes anti-burn-in behavior specifically for AMOLED displays. However, if your device uses an LCD (non-OLED) screen, expect greater battery draw when the lighting and Always-On features are active.
Who this is best for
If you frequently listen to music on your phone and enjoy visual flair, this app enhances playback with synchronized screen-edge lighting and attractive lock-screen clocks. It’s a good fit for users who want both audio-reactive visuals and customizable clock widgets on the lock screen.
