Start your night podcast without fumbling with the phone
A developer who wakes at night wanted to stop fumbling with his phone in the dark. With Claude Code he built an Android screensaver that only runs when the phone is charging at night. When he turns on his headphones, it plays the next unplayed podcast episode at a quiet volume, and the black screen takes a tap to pause and a drag for volume. He called it a 15 minute project, but you must install apps yourself.

How to do it
- Paste the prompt into the tool, and replace the text in brackets with your own.
- Read the answer through. Do not send, delete or publish anything until you have seen it yourself.
- Check the original before you trust a figure, a name or a date.
Try it with Claude Code
Build a simple Android app that only starts when my phone is charging at night. When I connect my headphones, it should play the next unplayed episode of my chosen podcast at a low volume. The screen stays black, with a large pause area and an easy way to adjust volume. Explain how to install and test it before anything goes on the phone. You are done when I have tested it in bed in the dark.
