For Mac users who need their computer to stay awake during long tasks or presentations, Caffeine is a simple utility that puts an icon in your menu bar. With a click, you can prevent your Mac from automatically going to sleep, dimming the screen, or starting screen savers.
Originally developed by Tomas Franzén in 2006, Caffeine is a well-known and loved utility that has been updated by IntelliScape Solutions to work with the latest macOS versions. The app is genuinely useful, lean, and simple to use, making it a great solution for users who need to keep their Mac awake.

To use Caffeine, simply click the icon in your menu bar to toggle the 'keep awake' mode on or off. You can also right-click (or ⌘-click) the icon to show the menu and adjust settings.
