Caffeine keeps your Mac from going to sleep

Do you ever get really into a long YouTube video, only to have your laptop screen go dim at the wrong moment? I do. That’s why I love Caffeine. It’s a little app that does one thing and does it well — it keeps your computer from going dim and sleeping. Sure, you can always change your display settings and power settings, but it’s not the quickest thing to do when you only want it on for a few moments.

After installation, Caffeine places a very small coffee cup on your menu bar at the top right hand corner of Mac OS and then sits there quietly until you activate it. Once activated, the coffee cup fills with coffee and your computer will never go to sleep.

Want to turn it off and let your computer rest? Just hit the coffee cup once and Caffeine turns off.

Pretty simple. This one little app has saved me a lot of time in having to move my mouse to bring my screen back to full brightness. Go over to the Caffeine webpage and download it now!
