Midnight on the dance floor. The iPad dims. The line dissolves. Keep Awake prevents the screen from sleeping so your booth survives the night the event actually happens.
Available in Party.
The problem
iOS power management assumes tablets sit idle on desks—not run bright kiosk displays for six hours straight. Unexpected sleep breaks guest trust, kills throughput, and sends staff hunting for the side button while a line watches. Long events need explicit stay-on behavior.
Why it matters
- Prevent the device display from sleeping during active events
- Maintain kiosk visibility in dim reception halls
- Avoid mid-line shutdowns from auto-lock timers
- Support all-night weddings and festival operating hours
- Pair with auto-restart for continuous unattended operation
Who it’s for
Keep Awake serves every Party-tier operator running extended events: wedding receptions past midnight, New Year’s Eve activations, venue installations, and anyone who has lost a booth to a dimmed screen at the worst moment.
Real-world moments
- A wedding booth runs until after last call without screen dimming interrupting guests
- A New Year’s Eve party kiosk stays bright through countdown and peak line volume
- A venue weekend installation remains guest-ready across multi-hour open periods
How ZillaBooth delivers
Party-tier Keep Awake maintains display readiness during event operation so iPad kiosks stay visibly active for walk-up guests. Combined with hide settings, auto-restart, and ambient status alerts, it is part of the operational toolkit that keeps pro booths running while you focus on the event—not the tablet.
The booth should outlast the dance floor—not nap during it.
Does Keep Awake drain battery faster?
Active displays use more power; plan plugged-in iPad setups for all-night events.
Is Keep Awake the same as Guided Access?
Keep Awake prevents sleep during operation; iOS Guided Access can additionally lock guests into the app—many operators use both.
Which tier includes Keep Awake?
Keep Awake is a Party-tier pro operations feature for extended kiosk deployments.
Does Keep Awake work with ambient status alerts?
Yes. Ambient alerts notify operators of issues while Keep Awake maintains guest-facing readiness.
