Caffeinated: Anti Sleep App
Keeps Your Display Awake
Only for Mac
S$ 5.98
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.

1.18 13/05/2020
Hello everyone! Since many of you reached out to us wishing for the menu bar icon / coffee cup to be slightly smaller, we reduced the size accordingly.
We are aware of the issue of the dropdown menu not showing up when using external monitors on macOS Catalina. This is a system related issue and we are already in contact with Apple. We are very sorry for the inconvinience. We'll provide a fix as soon as possible.
By the way, check out Caffeinated's new website www.caffeinated.app. Along with a helpful FAQ we've also written a step-by-step guide on how to keep your MacBook awake with closed lid. In this guide we also explain why this isn't a built-in-feature of Caffeinated.
As always, thanks for writing us. It really means a lot to us! More updates and features are coming soon!

1.17 20/02/2020
Hello everyone! In today's update we've made Caffeinated compatible with macOS Catalina!
We've also implemented compatibility with the alternative right-click (Control Key + Click) for users of input devices which don't include a right-click button. We had to change the colored activation indicator to a simpler design due to system changes in macOS Catalina. Furthermore, we corrected the title "Allow screensaver" to "Allow display to sleep" inside the settings.
Again, thanks for writing us. It really means a lot to us! More updates and features are coming soon!
