Click-Through Screen Overlay App for Anti-Idle Mobile Gaming
This post zeroes in on a specific issue for a dedicated audience: mobile gamers who play games with grinding and farming mechanics that also have anti-idle features, which can lead to disconnections if there's no screen activity. The user is specifically looking for an app that provides a "click-through full-screen black overlay."
Niche Market & Opportunity: There's a niche market for mobile gamers who need to bypass anti-idle mechanisms during long gaming sessions. The opportunity lies in creating a utility tool that tackles this exact pain point.
Product Description & Form: The solution would be a mobile application that generates a full-screen, black (or dimming) overlay. Crucially, this overlay must be "click-through," meaning touch inputs pass through the overlay to the game running underneath. This allows the game to register activity, preventing disconnection, while the overlay can help reduce screen brightness (saving battery, minimizing screen burn-in on OLED displays), and offer some privacy.
The product would be a mobile app, primarily for the Android platform, as iOS has much stricter limitations on apps drawing over other apps or system-wide overlays that can interact in this way.
Monetization & Expected Revenue: This is a niche utility app, best suited for a simple monetization model rather than a recurring SaaS subscription for this core feature.
- Model: One-time purchase.
- Price Point: A price of $0.99 - $3.99 would be appropriate for such a utility.
- Expected Revenue: Revenue would depend on the size of the target audience (gamers playing titles with these specific anti-idle mechanics), the app's visibility on app stores, and its effectiveness. While it may not be a massive revenue generator, it could provide a steady stream if it reliably solves the problem for a passionate enough user base. Additional features (e.g., customizable overlay colors, timers, quick toggles) could justify a slightly higher price point within this range or be part of a "pro" version.
