[Feature] Keep Screen On When App is Open

Platform

[ ] iOS
[x] Android

Obsidian Mobile version: v1.0.4

Is it possible add a feature to mobile which keeps the screen on.?

For the cooks out there who keep and use our recipes in Obsidian this would let us refer to the recipe without having the constantly touch the screen with dirty fingers to prevent the screen locking.

Markor (alternate android .md app) has this option and it’s priceless.

As a workaround, you could change the system setting and then change it back afterward.

You might be able to set up a thing with Automator (or similar) that will change the setting and then automatically revert it an hour later. Or there might even be an app for just that purpose.

I use Obsidian as a shopping list manager, and the Gym program guide.
Without the keep awake feature, i have to unlock the phone all the time.

I also keep my recipes in Obsidian, and when cooking I can’t look at the recipe because the phone keeps locking.

I need this feature. It was in Evernote since the start, and that’s one of the killer features in Evernote for me.
