About:
domzilla-caffeine is a lightweight utility that temporarily inhibits macOS energy saver features, preventing the system from automatically sleeping or activating the screen saver. It sits in the menu bar, allowing users to activate or deactivate the keep-awake state with a single click. This ensures uninterrupted workflows during long-running tasks, downloads, or presentations.
Key Features:
  • One-click activation from the menu bar
  • Prevents system sleep and screen dimming
  • Lightweight and unobtrusive background operation
  • Visual indicator shows when sleep is inhibited
Use Cases:
  • Preventing system sleep during large file downloads or uploads
  • Keeping the display active during presentations or demos
  • Ensuring long-running compilation or rendering tasks complete without interruption
Alternatives:
  • Amphetamine – More feature-rich with advanced triggers and session scheduling, but heavier than domzilla-caffeine
  • KeepingYouAwake – Open-source alternative with similar menu bar functionality and simple activation
