# Will my screen stay unlocked/open whilst I'm using the app and cooking?

| **Quick answer:** Yes. When you’re viewing a recipe (normal view or Cooking Mode) on the iOS or Android app, or on the CookBook Web App, CookBook activates a wake-lock so the screen won’t dim or lock.

# Mobile apps (iOS & Android)

* The wake-lock turns on automatically the moment you open a recipe.
* It stays active in both the standard recipe view and full-screen Cooking Mode.
* **Tip:** Exiting the recipe or switching apps returns your device to its normal screen-timeout setting.

# CookBook Web App

* Modern browsers (Chrome, Safari, Firefox, Edge) support the same wake-lock.
* Open a recipe on the [web app](https://app.cookbookmanager.com/) and the browser keeps the screen awake until you close the tab or navigate away.

# Things to keep in mind

* Low-Power Mode (iOS) or Battery Saver (Android) can override wake-lock on some devices.
* If the screen still dims, check that your operating system’s battery-saving settings are turned off while cooking.
