Caffeinated prevents your Mac from going to sleep, dimming your screen or starting the screensaver. Your screen goes dark when you don't want it to? Then Caffeinated is the perfect tool for you. Caffeinated was developed based on the helpful tool Caffeine. Caffeinated brings back the classic features to your Mac, but better. One click on the coffee cup in your menu bar is enough to keep your Mac awake. If needed, you can find additional options in a beautifully designed and easy-to-use app interface.

Looks great! How would you distinguish this from Amphetamine/Caffeine? I use Amphetamine at the moment so just curious if there's a reason for me to switch.

@kieranmcgrady there is also KeepingYouAwake which is open source and works pretty well.

@kieranmcgrady Hi Kieran! Thanks for your question. You don't need to switch from Amphetamine. Amphetamine is a great app. Essentially, we developed Caffeinated when Caffeine stopped working on our devices. Caffeinated has a more simplistic approach to an anti-sleep app, similar to Caffeine. In the next few days, Caffeinated will be available for free. You can give it a try then. ☕️ - Lea

Hi Lea, love the app thanks! Can I just confirm that messaging apps like Microsoft Teams would show me as active still even if I allow the display to sleep in settings?

@stephen_amos1 Hi Stephen! Yes, you will still be shown as active in apps like Microsoft Teams, Skype and so on. The settings in Caffeinated don't affect those apps. They are tracking the mouse movement to determine wether you're active or not. 🙂

Hello PH! Lea from the Caffeinated team here. Caffeinated is a Mac Menu Bar App that prevents your Mac from going to sleep, dimming your screen or starting the screensaver. It is available worldwide. Caffeinated is not only very convenient but also easy to use. Just right-click on the icon in your menu bar to prevent your screen from going to sleep. With a left-click on the icon you get all the important options and settings. ☕️ We'd love to get some feedback and I am more than happy to answer any questions! ✌️

@team_yugen What makes your app different to Amphetamine which is available on the app store for free?

@team_yugen surprised by the name choice given that Caffeine has existed since before 2014 (personally, I use Lungo).

Agree, I am using Caffeine as well... what's the difference?

@bevankay Hi Bevan! Thank you for your question. The two apps differ in their user interface and experience. Caffeinated has a more simplistic approach, similar to Caffeine. It still offers important features and options. This said, Amphetamine is a great app with a big variety of settings. It is up to you what you prefer. 🙂 - Lea

@chrismessina Hi Chris! Indeed, Caffeinated is based on Caffeine, therefore the name choice. We started developing Caffeinated at a time when Caffeine wasn't compatible with our operating system. We wanted to create something similar, yet we included more features and options that we thought would make a nice addition to an anti-sleep app. ☕️ - Lea
