Open Caffeine is a straightforward and highly functional native macOS menu bar application designed to keep your Mac awake for a specific duration you choose. It offers convenient presets, allows you to set a custom timer, lets you toggle your screen's sleep behavior, and supports a global hotkey for quick activation. You can also display a clear countdown directly in your menu bar and rest assured that it will automatically stop preventing sleep if your battery reaches a low threshold. This application is open source, natively supports Apple Silicon, and is built for users who simply want a modern, reliable Caffeine-style utility without any unnecessary marketing features or bloat.
