You could also stop the phone from locking. (Thereā€™s a block for that.) For me, if Iā€™m working at my computer, the phone screen staying on is OK since the phone is plugged in. ---

I admit I tried. My acquaintances in programming are obviously at a very low level. Unfortunately I couldnā€™t handle it. It remained inoperable for IOS. I will be grateful if you help me with this. And I am convinced that it will be useful for many others in the community! ---

Yes this is a workaround for which user will waste their phone battery on something so basic and available in much more efficient applications. ---

@Balanced_Kitchen to be fair, you seem to have conveniently ignored this important caveat: > [@catsarisky](#): > > For me, if Iā€™m working at my computer, the phone screen staying on is OK since the phone is plugged in. How did you get on with the Zapier integration approach? > [@Help build a timer that works when the screen is locked](https://community.thunkable.com/t/help-build-a-timer-that-works-when-the-screen-is-locked/1238064): > > The timer is ready and working. But every time the user locks the screen the timer stops. Is there a way for the timer to continue working when the screen is locked? ---

Did you try that approach tchind linked with Zapier? It also seems to me one could use OneSignal to send a push notification. The API reference shows a delay\_after parameter that could be used. This is probably not suitable for a 30 second timer, but for traditional pomodoro method, a OneSignal notification would probably work OK! ---

I also use IFTTT to give notifications on the screen. With a PRO IFTTT account you can create JavaScript filters which can integrate many apps together. ---

As I failed to cope, as I mentioned, my knowledge in the field is limited and I will need a lot of time which I do not have at the moment. Therefore, I will be infinitely happy to find here in this subject that someone has achieved what I have failed at. The projects on display are truly unique, as are the ideas proposed. I can only congratulate you on this and wish you success. šŸ‘ ---
