Keep screen always ON

I have created a timer app with various intervals but the issue is that after a certain ammount of seconds , defined in the settings, the screen turns off and the counter stops. My model is a Versa 2 and I would like to be able to constantly keep the screen on specifically for this app or be able to keep it running in the background so that it vibrates when an interval finishes, as programmed, or the screen turns on when I move my wrist.

Thank you in advance

Perhaps what's interfering is appTimeoutEnabled.

 

I assume you're not using ontick(), which won't fire when the display goes off. setInterval() should be fine.

 

Versa 2's 'always-on display' mode would be useful to you but, at this stage, it isn't available for all to use.

 

Fitbit OS doesn't have a 'background' mode for clockfaces or apps; if another app is started, yours will die.
