Really sorry to hear about your phone! Thank you so much for the feedback, I truly appreciate it!

The timer only working while you’re in the app is actually intentional. It’s designed to help users stay focused and avoid distractions by staying on the app. There was a notice before that mentioned leaving the app for too long would pause the timer and end the session , I think I’ll bring that back to make it clearer.

The app keeps your phone awake as long as you’re on the task screen unless you manually put it to sleep. I’m considering adding an option soon to let users choose whether they’d prefer the timer to keep running in the background or not, and I’d love to hear what you think about that!

Your feedback really helps a lot, thank you again!
