Caffeine is the solution you must use if you need to prevent your Mac computer from going to sleep or enabling screensavers while performing tasks. It is a game-changer single-purpose solution that is really easy to use.

What is Caffeine?

Caffeine was initially developed and released in 2006 by Tomas Franzén of Lighthead Software. For many years, it stood as one of the most appreciated tools for Mac users. Since 2018, Caffeine has been open-source and has been updated to keep working on more modern Mac computers, while still providing all the settings you need to make it work as you wish.

What are the key features of Caffeine?

  • Sleep control: The only purpose of Caffeine is to prevent your computer from hibernating, dimming the screen, or enabling screensavers. It may seem overkill, but it is beneficial as you don't need to tweak your system preferences or modify settings when you just want to watch a long movie or YouTube videos, perform download tasks or lead a video conference.
  • Lightweight: It is a single-purpose application that uses so few resources that your computer won't notice it.
  • Configurable: Caffeine is not just an on/off solution as it lets you decide whether or not to run it upon startup, but also set up a default duration, or if it should turn itself off after a period of time.
  • Catalina and Mojave friendly: Caffeine works with Mojave or Catalina as it has been updated to work in Mojave's improved security and privacy environment.
