Make sure your Mac does not go to sleep for a specific period of time without tampering with your default energy saving settings. #Keep Mac active #Prevent sleep #Caffeinate Unix command #Active #Sleep #Prevention
macOS comes with energy saving capabilities which can help you either save up your battery or prevent your computer from using energy resources unnecessarily. However, changing the default setting on a regular basis can prove rather tedious.
CaffeinateMe is a minimalist application that can help you prevent your Mac from going to sleep without having to perform any permanent adjustments. The app can keep the computer active indefinitely or only for a particular period.
Even though putting your computer to sleep is essential for preserving resources, this could prevent the machine to complete certain tasks that do not need user supervision, such as large file transfers, backing up data, and so on.
Nonetheless, completely deactivating the energy saving functions can lead to various issues, such as overuse or overheating. As a result, relying on an alternative tool that can time how long your Mac remains active can prove to be precisely what you need.
Within the CaffeinateMe main window, you get to choose if you want to keep the system active indefinitely or for a certain period. The first option can be used if you don’t know how long it will take for your Mac to complete a particular task, but keep in mind that you need to deactivate it manually.
On the other hand, if you opt for the second option, CaffeinateMe allows you to set a custom period expressed in minutes or hours. The app will start a timer based on the user provided data, and you get to monitor the progress in the main panel.
CaffeinateMe offers you the possibility to bypass the system’s energy saving settings without tampering with the System Preferences. The customization options are delivered in a user-friendly interface, and you get to activate the service almost instantly.
