I tried several such apps in the past and so far Massive looks like something
that might finally force me to give up my paper notebook :)

However, one particular feature that I'm missing is the ability to keep the app open despite having the phone locked.

For example, Organic Maps has this nice feature meaning that when I'm navigating I can just turn the phone
screen on and off without the necessity to enter my password on the lock screen. The app simply remains on top of the lock screen, which is super convenient.

Since I don't use face recognition and have my phone secured with a real password (not just pin), unlocking allways takes some time for me.

I'm not really familiar with Android programming, so I don't know how much effort it requires to add such a capability. However, I would be for sure willing to help testing if such an enhancement becomes available.

Thanks again for your great work!

Unfortunately I don't see myself looking into this any time soon. I personally don't lock my phone at all. If someone made a pull request with this feature I would test and approve it.
