Keep screen on in the Focus sessions

taka

I want to keep screen on with focus session screen.
Can we do this already?

No this is not possible. Can you give some more context about your use-case for this feature? On what kind of device with what operating system are you using the app?

I tend to do other tasks such as web browsing during pomodoro.
If the app (I am using Android) could always display the countdown timer, I would be able to concentrate better.
Furthermore, I think it would be easier to keep myself awake if the timer screen could display the title of the current task as an additional feature.

How would you expect it to display the timer?
Maybe if Android 16 in fact introduces this feature, displaying the timer in it (either the focus session or time tracking) would be a good fit

I could also show the timer in a picture-in-picture window (as it is possible with the Windows app), but I am not sure if this would really be a great benefit on Android. I'd expect that window to be rather bothersome (especially on smaller screens)
