Coffee Buzz

Ever wanted to temporarily keep your Mac from starting its screen saver or going to sleep? Sure, you could change your Energy Saver settings, but isnt there a more convenient way? Well, now there is! 

Coffee Buzz is the easiest and safest display-sleep preventer available. With simple operation and exclusive Safety Auto-Shutoff feature, keeping your Mac awake (and letting it sleep again) is now as simple as a click!


Features include:

• Three easy-to-use settings:
◦ Buzz mode: blocks all system and display sleep, and prevents the display from dimming
◦ Doze mode: allows the display to sleep, but macOS stays responsive and active in the background
◦ Off: provides a convenient way to disable sleep effects without having to quit and reopen Coffee Buzz
• Control from the status bar, two convenient sizes of app window, or the Dock icon
• Timer with multiple convenient presets and custom settings
• Set rules to automatically control Coffee Buzz:
◦ At startup
◦ When you connect or disconnect the power adapter (on a portable Mac)
◦ When the low-battery warning appears (on a portable Mac)
◦ Based on the other apps you use
• Exclusive Safety Auto-Shutoff rule designed to reduce the chance of accidental display damage or burn-in. While not intended to be a substitute for responsibility and careful use, Safety Auto-Shutoff can keep a mistake from turning into an expensive headache.


Note: This app cannot prevent your Mac from sleeping if you use the Sleep menu command or close the screen on a portable Mac. This used to be possible years ago, but macOS no longer allows applications of any type to block the users direct commands to enter sleep.
