Utilities

Caffeinated: Anti Sleep App

A menu bar utility for temporarily preventing Mac sleep, display dimming and the screensaver.

Our take

Useful when a presentation, call or long-running task needs an explicit awake session.

A one-click toggle and timer make temporary sleep overrides visible and easy to end.

Keep in mind: Keeping the Mac awake uses battery and changes normal idle behavior. Do not assume closed-lid operation or recovery from power loss. The saved current build requires macOS 15.

What you can do

  • Menu bar controls and appearance options

Privacy & permissions

Its core workflow changes local sleep behavior. Review notification preferences; a support message shares whatever diagnostics you attach.
