# How to use

Caffeine provides you with several ways to use it. You can decide how to use it by circumstances.

# Using tile

Caffeine is mainly a tile-based app. You can activate or deactivate it by clicking Caffeine tile. Following steps show you how to add Caffeine tile:

  • Pull down status bar
  • Click "" or other similar button
  • Add Caffeine tile to quick settings

# Using shortcut

In Android 7.1+, you can use toggle Caffeine by shorcut.

Generally, long pressing on Caffeine launcher icon will lead you to the shortcut menu. You can click "Toggle" in the menu to activate or deactivate Caffeine.

In most ROMs, you can add it to home by holding "" next to the option.

# Using externl apps

Please refer to Interacting with Other Apps.

# For Android 14+

Please check Ignore battery optimization.

This is required by the Android OS. If you have any doubts, check Foreground services (opens new window) on the Android Developer site.

# Resolving compatibility issues

After adding Caffeine tile to quick settings, try activating it. If it works, you can close this guide now. If not, please refer to Issues.

# About your privacy

Recently some people have commented that Caffeine contains viruses or that it steals data. Before posting such comments please think about this: how can you publish to Google Play while containing viruses and how can you transfer data without network permissions?

Please know that your personal data is completely useless for me and my apps will never take any data from your device. I released Caffeine for free for everyone to use, and it is indeed sad to speculate on my thoughts at will.

# Support development

I spent lots of time on Caffeine, but I didn't add any ads or in-app purchases to Caffeine and didn't get paid. If you like Caffeine, please consider supporting me.
