Adjustable Timeout for Agenda App Lock

I really appreciate the ability to lock my entire Agenda library on macOS behind a password/TouchID. However, in my use case I am primarily using Agenda to display meeting agendas and take notes during client-facing meetings that typically last about 2 hours each.

With the current app settings Agenda repeatedly timeouts and locks itself (it seems to be every 5 minutes) throughout my meetings, creating some annoyance and friction when I have to repeatedly unlock the app each time I want to reference the next agenda item or make a quick note of an action item.

Could we get a customizable setting that allows for different timeout periods? I would like something more like 30 minutes or even just a one-time check for the password each time the app is launched.

Any update on this? I continue to have to unlock my Agenda app several times during each client meeting. If a customizable setting is not on the immediate timeline, can I make the case for a longer timeout? Instead of 5 minutes, 10 minutes would reduce my timeouts by half. Heck, even an increase to 6 or 7 minutes would be an improvement.

OK, I added a hidden preference for this. I don’t have time to add UI at this point, but at least you could set it.

To set the time in minutes, open the Terminal app and enter this, then press return:

defaults write com.momenta.agenda appUnlockTimeInMinutes 15

To remove the setting and go back to the default, use this:

defaults delete com.momenta.agenda appUnlockTimeInMinutes

Unfortunately this will only work once we put out a new release. Not sure when that will be, sorry. But if you use this command now, you will be ready for when it arrives. There is no harm having the setting already.

Thank you! I look forward to the next release with this enhancement.
