What's new in v3.4.2
This update starts the new year with the following bug fixes:
- Fixed an issue that caused Caffeinate to not start correctly on Oreo and higher.
- Caught a rare case where duplicate notifications would be posted.
- Improved detecting if DND permissions were granted, while trying to use the Sound Profile tile.
Thanks to all who emailed in to report any sort of issues you encounter, it really does help me tackle these issues! I hope your holidays went well, and that you have a happy New Years!

How to install Caffeinate on Android 7.0+
You'll need about 11.2 MB of free space.
- Download the APK — tap Download APK above (5.6 MB). Chrome shows “File might be harmful” for every APK file; choose Download anyway only if you trust this file.
- Open the file — tap the download notification, or open Files › Downloads and tap xyz-omnicron-caffeinate-33-72428898-82c54b2c82ad93dad001c09954517ed3.apk.
- Allow the install (first time only) — Android 8 and later asks for permission the first time an app opens an APK: tap Settings in the prompt, turn on Allow from this source, then go back. Manual path: Settings › Apps › Special app access › Install unknown apps (on Samsung: Settings › Apps › ⋮ › Special access). On Android 7 and older: Settings › Security › Unknown sources.
- Check the file (optional) — the MD5 of the downloaded file should be 82c54b2c82ad93dad001c09954517ed3. If it differs, the file is damaged or was changed: delete it and download again.
- Tap Install — Android asks “Do you want to install this app?”. If Google Play Protect shows a warning, read it before you continue: the source store rated this file Trusted, but only install apps from sources you trust. If an earlier version is installed, this one only installs as an update when it is signed with the same certificate (SHA-1 shown above).
- Open Caffeinate — tap Open on the install screen, or find it in your app drawer.
Common install problems
- “App not installed” — a version signed with a different certificate, or a newer version, is already installed (Android doesn't allow downgrades). Uninstall it first; back up your data, because uninstalling deletes it.
- “There was a problem parsing the package” — the file is incomplete, or your Android is too old (this version needs Android 7.0+). Download it again, or pick an older version.
- Blocked by Play Protect — Play Protect checks apps from outside the Play Store. Only continue if you trust the source.
