Description

Lungo prevents your computer from falling asleep and your screen from dimming.

This can be useful when:
- Doing a presentation at work.
- Watching YouTube videos in non-fullscreen mode.
- Cooking and having the recipe open on your computer.
- Reading a long article without scrolling.
- Using the screen to view live stats.
- Monitoring progress on a long-running task.

Features:
- Right-click the menu bar icon to quickly activate.
- Choose to activate with left-click instead in the settings.
- Choose to activate at launch in the settings.
- Allow the display to sleep in the settings.
- Set the default duration in the settings, which is used when Lungo is activated by clicking the menu bar icon.
- Custom keyboard shortcut to activate/deactivate Lungo.
- Deactivate automatically when disconnecting the power adapter (opt-in).
- Shortcuts support.
- Control Lungo from scripts or the terminal. (See the website for more info)

Important: Lungo will not prevent your computer from sleeping if you close the lid. This is a Mac App Store limitation. Lungo is also not able to prevent a scheduled sleep, enabled in the battery system settings.

Good but missing custom hours

This tool is really handy, but it just miss the ability to set a custom x of hours, which many times i need an x time that is not available in the pre-sets.

Developer Response ,

This app has existed for 6 years with hundreds of feature requests and custom durations have only come up a few times, so there is not much demand for it. The simplicity of the app is a feature. You can actually have custom durations by using the Shortcuts app. Lungo comes with a Shortcuts action to set a custom duration. See the app website for more info.
