Caffeinate-d 🍵☕️

A minimalist macOS menu bar application to keep your Mac's display and system awake.

Features

• Menu Bar Toggle: A cup icon shows whether sleep prevention is active.
• Native Power Management: Uses macOS activity assertions to prevent display and idle system sleep while active.
• Minimalist Design: No Dock icon; controls live in the menu bar.
• About Window: Shows the app version and developer information.

Installation

1. Download the latest .dmg from the Releases page.
2. Drag Caffeinate-d to your Applications folder.
3. Launch and enjoy.

Usage

• Left Click: Toggles state.
• Right Click: Opens the menu for timed sessions, Launch at Login, About, and Exit.

Timed sessions are available for 1, 2, 5, and 10 minutes. The app does not prevent sleep when the Mac's lid is closed.
