I won't repeat the other reviewers here that all say this app is PERFECT, but I will add yet another reason to love it. If you connect a smart TV to your Mac through the HDMI port (to use as a monitor), you'll notice that most smart TV's will sleep after 10 or so minutes, with NO ABILITY to disable this sleep mode, either through the TV or Mac, because no keyboard/mouse inputs are being received by the smart TV. Owly solves this problem by (apparently) sending enough signal inputs to the TV to stay on. This is a huge blessing, because my smart TV would turn off after 10 minutes of no mouse/keyboard inputs. Owly has solved yet another sleep issue. Thank you and please keep this app alive!!!

Like many others I’m also coparing this app to Caffeine! I think the app is wonderful and everything positive that can be said about it has been said. I have been wishing that I could activate it with just one click and only recently discovered that with a right-click I can do just that. Turn it on to the defauld duration selected in preferences. The one additional feature I would love is to have is an option for the wake time to start after the last detected activity on the computer (keyboard, mouse, etc). So that the timer effectively starts from the time you move away from the computer rather than from when you select the timer.

This is one of the few apps that I have running 100% of the time. I find it so convenient to be able to keep my screen on all the time when I am around it, but then click it to screen saver if I leave my office. I used to use the “hot corners” feature of the screen saver for this, but I would unintentionally turn on screen saver, so turned that feature off.My Mac is my “planner” at work, so it’s helpful to have the screen visible all the time, even if I am not typing or clicking for a while. I also like that I can have Owly in the bar at the top of the screen without having it take up a spot in the dock.

I love this app. My company forces computers to lock after 3 minutes, which means I can be thinking about something and have my computer lock on me. They disabled Touch ID and disabled the ability to adjust the lock timing. I understand this from a security perspective, but I am working from home. I live alone. So unless someone breaks in, no one has access to this computer whether locked or not. So I installed this app to get around it. It works perfectly!!! It prevents my display from sleeping and my computer from locking. Before I was moving my mouse incessently like a psychopath and now I can work peacefully! Thanks Owly!
