Description

I just tried this app out yesterday (we already talked: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=16674745) :) and liked it a lot. What bothered me in the night was that the screen was randomly waking (maybe every 20 minutes?) I uninstalled the app and my phone stopped waking me up again, so I guess it was this app (otherwise hard to attribute)

I'm on Android v7.1.2 with lineageOS

Contributor guide

Research direction
Analyze the app's wake lock usage and scan scheduling to identify what triggers the screen to wake. Look for any API calls that may inadvertently wake the screen, such as using PowerManager full wake locks or keeping the CPU awake during scanning.
