What is Caffeine by IntelliScape Solutions?
Caffeine is a versatile utility that allows users to effortlessly manage their Mac's power settings. Designed as a compact menu bar application, Caffeine provides an intuitive way to prevent your Mac from automatically going to sleep, dimming the screen, or triggering screen savers. With a simple click, you can temporarily override these power-saving features, ensuring uninterrupted productivity or media consumption. Originally developed by Tomas Franzn in 2006, Caffeine has become a beloved tool among Mac enthusiasts, renowned for its simplicity and reliable functionality. However, the introduction of enhanced privacy controls in macOS Mojave led to compatibility issues, prompting the decision to open-source the project and enable continued development. This move ensures Caffeine's ongoing relevance, allowing users to maintain full control over their Mac's power management, even as the operating system evolves
