Going into settings to turn off sleep isn’t nearly as convenient as Caffeine. And Caffeine’s icon reminds you that it’s set to stay awake, so you can revert to “sleep after” just by tapping the icon.

I'm not sure how it works on a mac, but on a PC it works by simulating the shift key raising....and since an iPad has no keys, I don't see how it could work.


I know as suggested above, autolock to never means the screen only turns off when the battery dies.

Bear in mind, it's not always good for iPads to have their batteries drained dry, so you may wish to balance your need to keep the iPad on with caring for its battery health
