The app that warms your phone
Handy for dehumidifying and keeping spices and plants dry, wherever you are. Set a temperature on the oven-style thermostat, choose a timer and press start: the app puts the processor and graphics chip to real work to bring your device up to temperature and hold it there. No account, no ads — straight from your browser or from the app added to your home screen.
Does it damage the phone?
No. The app stays well under the temperatures your device already reaches while gaming or charging, and it stops on its own when the timer ends or the battery gets low. Your phone also has its own thermal protection, which throttles performance long before anything can be harmed.
How much battery does it use?
Heating costs energy, so expect a drain comparable to playing a demanding 3D game. Using a short timer, or keeping the device plugged in, is the best way to warm up without emptying the battery.
Does it work with the screen locked?
The app keeps the screen awake while heating so the browser does not suspend the work. If you lock the device manually, heating pauses and resumes when you come back.
How hot does it get?
The dial runs from off up to +50 °C added to whatever temperature your device starts at. The reading counts only the heat the app brings, and it is a model of the energy spent, not a hardware sensor — phones do not expose their thermal sensors to web apps.
