Keep the screen on

[Gustavo_Tecnus]

Hello community, I need help.
I would like to know if there is a way to keep the screen on while I am in the app. After a few seconds the cell phone locks.
In "Kodular" there is the "Keep the screen on" property, and I wanted to see if there is something similar at MIT or an extension that can achieve this.
Thank you so much.

You can use a clock timer and a notifier to do this, or there are extensions that provide a block for it.

The simple ways:

Phone screen, how do you prevent it from turning off? (do not go into sleep mode)

A Stay Awake routine can also prevent the screen from closing. Either use a Stay Awake block routine using a Notifier -How to keep the screen on or you use Taifun’s Tools Extension: App Inventor Extensions: Tools | Pura Vida Apps [image] Be aware using either an extension or a block routine drains your device battery rapidly . These work around methods are not running the app in the Background, they force the app screen to stay open.

or use a Foreground or Background extension

Thank you so much. The TaifunTools extension with the "KeepScreenOn" method worked for me
