Description

Caffeinated prevents your Mac from going to sleep, dimming your screen or starting the screensaver.

Your screen goes dark when you don't want it to? Then Caffeinated is the perfect tool for you. Caffeinated was developed based on the helpful tool Caffeine. Caffeinated brings back the classic features to your Mac, but better. One click on the coffee cup in your menu bar is enough to keep your Mac awake. If needed, you can find additional options in a beautifully designed and easy-to-use app interface.

I always use Caffeinated, when I ...
... make a video call.
... download large files.
... give a presentation at work.
... watch videos at home.
... listen to a podcast.

Almost perfect

I use Caffeinated constantly to keep my computer awake through virus scans, back-ups, and other such labourious tasks, because in spite of what the other program's say about being able to work in the background (including Apple), they never do. Caffeinated keeps everything going until things are well and truly finished. The only thing that I have had an issue with is allowing the screen saver to come on. That just doesn't seem to work well (if SS comes on, computer will eventually shut down anyway). My work-around is to have my background images rotate through to avoid screen burn.

Saves me SO much hassle...

The latest MacOS update caused a problem-- my MacBook Pro will not let me back in once it has gone to sleep. I can enter my password, but it will not unlock. I have to restart the computer! So, Caffeinated solves my problem by not letting the machine fall asleep! Even without the bug, the little app would make life easier by saving me from entering a 20 character password at least a dozed times a day. Thanks a million!

pretty good!

This app fixes my biggest complaint with similar apps - they figured out how to make the cup look enabled/disabled in both dark and light mode.

I also like the duration menu, it's a nice innovation, but there's some rough edges. I want to be able to re-click the time that's already selected to restart the clock - it works for all the unselected times, but not for the one I'm using.

Also the whole menu changes size slightly when activated/deactivated, which, as a Swift programmer, kinda bugs me. It's the sort of detail I would not let slide in my own apps.

Hi! Thank you so much for your kind and thoughtful feedback!

If you want to restart the clock, you can simply disable Caffeinated and then re-enable it. However, I’ve also added your suggestion to our list of possible new features for the future. The size of the window changes because you have selected a limited duration. If the infinite duration is selected, the size of the window doesn’t change when activated/deactivated.

Feel free to contact us at support@caffeinated.app anytime!
