What issue do you have?

Hi,

When in a meeting I have Joplin with the agenda, questions to asks and my notes. Is this possible to keep the screen always on while looking at a note or at least while editing it?

Thanks.

There is an app called ScreenOn which allows you to toggle keeping the screen on permanently, using a button in the notification bar. If not using an external app, you need to turn off screen timeout in Android settings whenever you want to do that, which is not very convenient

Thanks. Would be more convenient to have this integrated in the Joplin app though.

Thanks again

No. I use Caffeine and it works pretty much the same way. I use it when I'm driving and play podcasts or books and want to be able to pause them when I need to give driving my full attention. It is better to have an app that works the same for the entire OS. I want the same app to work the same way regardless of whether I'm listening to a book in one program or listening to podcasts in another.
