I have built a simple Stop watch, and I would like the stop watch to show in the smartphones notification menu when you temporary leave the app. How can I achieve this? ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/thunkable/original/3X/d/5/d5ab86a64b96a22879c6899b9731b24167c2693a.png) ---

Hi @thomas.lorentzonsi, thanks for checking in! Unfortunately, Thunkable apps cannot run in the background on iOS or Android, we are unable to support that functionality. ---
