## Does the app require power saving mode to be turned off to function without interruptions?

### Local Mode
- **Power saving settings:** No changes needed. The app uses a foreground service with a wake lock to operate, which allows it to run without power saving mode.
- **Battery impact:** Using wake lock may lead to quicker battery drain.

### Cloud Mode
- **Power saving settings:** No changes needed. The app uses Firebase Cloud Messaging (FCM) for push notifications, which works without disabling power saving mode.
- **Potential delays:** High message rates could lead to occasional delays when the device is in power-saving modes because of limits on high-priority FCM notifications.

### Recommendations
- **Testing:** It's advisable to test the app with and without power saving mode activated to see how it performs on your specific device and Android version.
- **Device manufacturers:** Behavior might vary by device manufacturer.
- **Local + Cloud:** For better responsiveness, consider running a local server alongside the cloud server connection.
