Description
Important: Caffeine lives in the MENU BAR, and this is where its state is indicated. App Store puts the Caffeine icon in the dock, but you can just remove it if you want to.

Needs an update!!! El Capitan 2016
Perfect for DJ
Rather than waste time changing your Energy settings and then having to revert them back after a set, use Caffeine! It lives in your menu bar so you can toggle it on or off at any time. It does what it says - keeps the screen on and prevents the computer from sleeping. Perfect if you use controllers, CDJ’s, or anything that minimizes how often you’re touching your laptop.
Clearly been abandoned
This was a fantastic app for its time, but is no longer being supported. For a similar app that’s updated for current versions of OS X I have found Amphetamine to be a suitable replacement. It has Retina icons and supports dark mode properly.
I Can’t Imagine Life WIthout It
The title says it all. This is a great app for any Mac user, and a must-have app for those who work on a Mac.
1st think I put on every Mac!!!
I love this simple utility! looks cool in status bar and is the most helpful most used thing on teh computer. Love it!
Worked fine on Snow Leopard, Doesn’t work on Yosemite
Ever since I downloaded Yosemite, Caffeine hasn’t worked for me. I loved it before, but now it doesn’t work. PLEASE FIX!!
Has always worked well
The application has always worked well for me. Does what it says it does. One irritation is that the icon on the menu bar will often not return to a normal gray background after you’ve activated Caffeine. On my setup, the background of the icon will stay blue as if I’m clicking and holding the mouse down on it. The only way to clear it is to stop and restart the application. This started to be a problem with Mavericks and has continued on with Yosemite. It doesn’t affect the functionality at all, but it does act as a distracting annoyance.
