DESCRIPTION
Caffeine is a tiny program that puts an icon in the right side of your menubar. Click it to prevent your Mac from automatically going to sleep, dimming the screen or starting screen savers. Click it again to go back. Hold down the Command key while clicking to show the menu. The menu now has a sub-menu for deactivating Caffeine automatically after a number of minutes.

NICKEL  Hint: For those of you who want the old menu bar icon you're in luck. All you have to do is CONTROL - click the application and select Show Package Contents. Then find the menu bar icons and replace them with the old ones. Just trying to help.  (Version 1.0.2)

NICKEL  Very nice app. It could use a different menu bar icon but it's fine. I would like to be able to move it around on the menu bar, perhaps that feature could be added. Anyways, nice application.  (Version 1.0.2)

F451  A non intrusive great little does-as-you-wish app for when you want to keep your computer from sleeping that works well. What else can I say?  (Version 1.0.2)

D3ISME  I like the cup icon.

I find it easy to see (on 13" laptop) and the rounded shape looks good in the menu bar next to the Awake and Time Machine icons.

I don't think it's any less intuitive than the ZzZ - it's just what you're used to.

Perhaps a choice could be possible?

Needing to reopen on restart is a pain, but at least it's just a matter of tapping the icon.

Love this app. It makes everything easier.  (Version 1.0.2)
