About Caffeinate

Caffeinate works by creating a Tile in your Quick Settings, a feature only available in Android Nougat (7.0) and higher.

Upon toggling, Caffeinate will keep your screen awake for five minutes (you can increase this timer by tapping the tile, or change the default time in the settings). After times up, your screen will continue sleeping normally.

Pretty much works exactly like CM's (and now LineageOS') caffeine function.


A few things to note...
- Caffeinate posts a notification when activated (and removed when the timer hits zero) in order to prevent the service from being killed. You can disable notifications for Caffeinate by long pressing the notification, and choosing to block all notifications (You'll miss the quick cancel option however!).

- Due to popular demand, there is no app launcher icon (to get into the actual app to change settings), to open the app, start caffeinating and click the notification. This will be a setting at a later time.

- Caffeinate is still in beta, and isn't perfect!

- Caffeinate uses Firebase, in order to report crashes, some analytics, and remote config (A/B testing).


A/B Testing:
Want to help the development of Caffeinate? By default, you are! Overtime, we'll use A/B testing to make sure features are working properly. These features are always togglable, to allow you to "force" yourself into or out of the test.

Currently testing...
- Nothing at the moment :)

Perfect in its simplicity! I just have the issue of having the icon "on" on system startup, even if not active.

S70%
by S####:

Honestly I think this feature should be built into Android it's very useful. Edit: it used to work on my G5 now even uninstall and reinstall does not work.

T70%
by T####:

Fantastic. A small, simple app that actually does what it promises to do. You, sir, are a true legend. May Allah bless you and your family.

A70%
by A####:

Useful, even works with my auto lock app. Bug: sometimes the quick toggle light up when nothing is happening and I have to press twice to turn it on.

S70%
by S####:

Great app! Does exactly what i need it to. I think it would be better if the quick setting did cancel instead of adding more time. Then maybe have cancel and more time in the notification.

K70%
by K####:

Love caffein mode, is it possible to set 5/10/30min/inf timer by tapping the tile multiple times? Now it starts with five and just adds another 10 every tap:)

O70%
by O####:

I was unable to use it at all, it simply wouldn't appear anywhere. The shortcut for nougat refused to add as well

K70%
by K####:

Can't use it as can't find it I the app drawer. No good.

S70%
by S####:

Only thing I want is an always on mode. Other that amazing app

I70%
by I####:

Perfect. Only lacking an 'infinite' option vs the CM tile.

S70%

For some reason I can't use it nor find it in the app drawer. Using Note5 nougat updated

This app saved my life

Been looking for something like this for a while, and caffeinate works like a charm!

Tried installing on my S7edge twice but it's not showing up in notifications any suggestions?

S70%
by S####:

3 stars from what I think basing on reviews. Certainly will add more after some usage. Thank you for the app

O70%
by O####:

Brilliant idea. Really useful, but always needs multiple taps to initiate. Starts the timer on the third or the fourth tap.

S70%
by S####:

Awesome app. I needed only this two tiles and searched all over play store. Finally a better working app. Loved it.

W70%
by W####:

App doesn't appear on my drawer and there is no way to launch app

S70%
by S####:

Very useful for keeping your phone screen on temporarily, without changing your display timeout in the settings.

S70%
by S####:

No bloat, simple.

X70%
by X####:

Installed it, but it didn't appear anywhere. I'm using a Pixel XL.

U70%
by U####:

For some reason the app no longer displays a timer. Other than that fantastic app!

D70%
by D####:

Awesome little app to keep your screen on for long periods of time. Excellent dev as well.

G70%
by G####:

Can you add "add 5 mins" button to the notification as well?

S70%
by S####:

Awesome little app, does exactly what it promises and works without any problem!

S70%
by S####:

Works well. 5mins increments. Cancelable. Great for last minutes on a match with a bet on, for example

M70%
by M####:

Not working on Samsung note 5

S70%
by S####:

Got hooked on this feature because of costum roms, glad I can get it everywhere now. Don't know if this is possible, but it would be cool to be able to long press the quick tile to cancel the caffeine. Just an idea :)

Q70%
by Q####:

Love the app but it's very buggy on my Pixel. Problems tend to come up when Caffeinate is activated when quick settings are only half opened (drawer swiped down once). The app starts timing despite not being lit up or activated with the notification - this issue is irreversable without removing completely and adding it back. Hope to redownload and fix my review when this is fixed up

X70%
by X####:

I would have given 5 stars but with the new version. I have been experiencing problems. After installing I don't see the app in the app list. There is no way to launch the app. I can see the toggle in the quick settings/toggle bar but not the main app. Previous version was amazing

S70%
by S####:

Edit: can you add the option to have the time left in the notification too? Or is that like not worth it or something (I'd understand if it's not worth it to you, it would probably barely make a difference). Also, thanks for giving an option to cancel it in the notification! Original comment: Add an option in the notification bar to be able to cancel it by tapping a button on the notification or something like that please instead of we have to wait it out or turn the device screen off.

S70%
by S####:

Great idea, but buggy on my Google Pixel. If I cancel and then reactivate it, sometimes the icon will flicker and refuse to activate, although the timer is there. Subsequent presses simply increase the timer without activating it.

S70%
by S####:

Can you please add the DND toggle with the ringer tile? Thr ringer tile only has normal and vibrate modes for now. The addition of the DND option would make it complete. Loved this app. Cheers!

S70%
by S####:

I liked the app initially but i recently noticed that it's buggy. Sometimes the icon in the quick settings get activated automatically and the screen stays awake with no notification in the bar. I happened to notice this after i started experiencing 'screen not shutting off automatically' problems. I have been suffering from this issue since past two three months now and discovered the cause just a few days ago. Hope it gets resolved soon else i'd have to switch over to some other application. PS: Finally, I removed the app. It was interfering with the phone's display timeout even when the toggle button is not turned on.

S70%
by S####:

So great not to have to root to get this feature! Works perfectly, only thing I'd like would be the ability to choose infinity instead of max 30 minutes to stay on. Then when I'm done, I'd just click off the screen and it would end.

X70%
by X####:

Amazing for Pokemon GO. Also a surprisingly active developer for such a straightforward app. I'm glad they didn't over estimate the simplicity and let the app go stale.

S70%
by S####:

For some reason the screen still shuts despite having this app. Love the idea of this app so I'm remaining hopeful for it to be fixed. Im using Huawei mate 9.

S70%
by S####:

Add an option to keep the screen awake indefinitely, not bound by any time limit. And it has many minor but annoying bugs, fix them.

S70%
by S####:

I'd give 5 stars but it doesn't work properly on my zenfone 2. Sometimes it works, sometimes the lock screen is activated with time left.. and when I unlock the phone, I can see there's still time left.

S70%
by S####:

Can't find app. It's not showing notifications and not in app drawer. I'm using Samsung S7 edge. Please fix this or tell me what I'm doing wrong.
