Overview
Keep awake, from one cup.
Keep your Mac awake from the menu bar.
One menu, four things it does.
No Dock icon and no main window. Click the cup with either mouse button to open the menu. The cup fills in while your Mac is held awake and empties when sleep is allowed again.
Choose 15 minutes, 30 minutes, 1, 2 or 5 hours, or Indefinite. Picking a preset turns Caffeinated on straight away. Pick Indefinite, or just tick Toggle Awake, and your Mac stays awake with no timer until you switch Toggle Awake off.
Caffeinated holds its own IOKit assertions rather than shelling out to caffeinate: one against idle system sleep and, with Prevent Display Sleep ticked, one against idle display sleep. The display setting is off by default and remembered between launches.
Tick Launch at Login and Caffeinated writes a LaunchAgent plist so it starts when you log in. Untick it and the plist is removed.
One menu, four things it does.
A cup in the menu bar, nothing else
No Dock icon and no main window. Click the cup with either mouse button to open the menu. The cup fills in while your Mac is held awake and empties when sleep is allowed again.
Keep awake for as long as you need
Choose 15 minutes, 30 minutes, 1, 2 or 5 hours, or Indefinite. Picking a preset turns Caffeinated on straight away. Pick Indefinite, or just tick Toggle Awake, and your Mac stays awake with no timer until you switch Toggle Awake off.
Hold the display awake too
Caffeinated holds its own IOKit assertions rather than shelling out to caffeinate: one against idle system sleep and, with Prevent Display Sleep ticked, one against idle display sleep. The display setting is off by default and remembered between launches.
Start with your Mac
Tick Launch at Login and Caffeinated writes a LaunchAgent plist so it starts when you log in. Untick it and the plist is removed.
