Labelled "Pixel Stand", this is a Google package preinstalled on Pixel phones. Its label matches Google's Pixel Stand wireless charger, and Google's Pixel help refers to a "Pixel Stand app" whose onboarding the user completes after placing the phone on the stand. The help page documents the accessory and that onboarding rather than naming this package, so the tie rests on the label and is an inference. On this site the package is recorded on Pixel models from Pixel 6 to Pixel 10 Pro across OS API levels 31 to 37, none of the observations mark it as user-facing, and where this site holds signer data it is signed by a Google-classified key that does not sign the Android framework. No Google Play listing was found at this package name when this note was written. What Google documents for the Pixel Stand app is tied to the accessory. The help page states that after installing the latest software and completing Pixel Stand app onboarding, a supported phone can charge wirelessly at up to 23 W and use "fan controls, Photo Frames, immersive media and other exclusive Pixel Stand experiences", and it lists stand settings reached from Connected devices in the Settings app: Screen off when dark, Do Not Disturb while docked, Photo Frame (showing Google Photos albums), Sunrise alarm and Bedtime. Onboarding includes verifying a Google Account. This site records the package requesting privileged Bluetooth, trust agent, dream state, secure settings and internet permissions, along with a permission named for a separate package, com.google.android.dreamlinerupdater. This site aggregates permissions across observations rather than per build, so which builds declare each of them cannot be established. Version note: the documented differences follow the phone model rather than the Android release. Google's help states that Pixel Stand does not work on the Pixel 6a, Pixel Fold, Pixel 9 Pro Fold, Pixel 10, Pixel 10 Pro, Pixel 10 Pro XL or Pixel 10 Pro Fold. This site nonetheless records the package on a Pixel 10 Pro, so its presence on a device does not show that the stand is supported there. This site's roll-up reports version names from 2.0.0.531068387 to 2.2.0.974947256. No change in the package's role tied to a specific Android release was found in the sources cited here. For Android Enterprise, EMM and kiosk use, no management role is identified in the sources cited here. If it is the Pixel Stand app the help page describes, disabling it would be expected to affect the stand-specific features above on devices that are docked on a Pixel Stand; the effect on charging itself, and on devices that never use a stand, could not be established, so no rating is given.

• Charge your phone with a Pixel Stand - Pixel Phone Help →
• Package provenance for com.google.android.apps.dreamliner - Android System App Database →

• Signed by Google's own signing key (the same key Google uses across devices), so it is a Google-provided preinstall that updates independently of the system image, and that single certificate is consistent across all 8 device profiles.
• Its largest observed manifest declares 31 permissions: 1 runtime (user-granted), 11 signature or system-level, 10 install-time and 9 vendor or uncatalogued.
• APK size ranges from 8.2 MB to 14.6 MB across the reporting device profiles, so the build differs substantially between them.
• Reported as an updated system app in 43 of 51 observations - a newer build was installed over the one in the system image. Multiple observations can come from the same device profile.
