Describe the feature you'd like

Add toggle within the Karakeep ios/android app that allows users to force the screen to remain active while the app is in use.

Describe the benefits this would bring to existing Karakeep users

Eliminates the need for users to repeatedly tap the screen to wake it. Useful when using for baking cake with dirty hands.

Can the goal of this request already be achieved via other means?

Yes, by manually disabling system wide screen timeout. Not possible on S24 (maximum screen timeout is 30 minutes).

Have you searched for an existing open/closed issue?

  • I have searched for existing issues and none cover my fundamental request
