Update!
The developers have made the exact changes suggested, so the app continues to play with various settings. Excellent work you guys! Thanks for making such a great tool ✨

Thank you for the great suggestion! Beside 1.1 is out now and adds a Keep Screen On setting (in Settings) that keeps your scene visible during a session. If you'd rather let the screen sleep, soundscapes and the timer now keep playing in the background too. If this makes Beside work better for you, we'd be grateful if you'd consider updating your review.
Super useful for focus!
I really like the variety of soundscapes the app offers—particularly Coffee Shop, which has just the right mix of chatter and ambiance to help me focus.
The only thing I thought was missing was background play: I’d love to have the soundscape play when I’m working on writing on my phone, or when I have the screen turned off to go do a different task! Overall, the app is very well-built and certainly helps me focus better!

Thank you so much, and we're glad Coffee Shop helps you focus! Good news: Beside 1.1 adds background play, so your soundscape and timer keep going while you write in another app or with the screen off. You can also pause and resume from the Lock Screen or Control Center. Enjoy!
