Jolt of Caffeine
Jolt of Caffeine is a macOS system utility designed to prevent your Mac from sleeping or entering idle states while you are actively working. It sits in the menu bar and allows users to temporarily disable sleep mode, which is useful for presentations, long downloads, media playback, or other tasks where you want to keep your Mac awake without manually adjusting system preferences. The app targets users who need quick, temporary control over sleep behavior without permanently changing system settings.

1 suggestionWe could not find substantial information about Jolt of Caffeine's current status or native Apple Silicon support. Based on the bundle ID prefix (com.moonapps), this appears to be a smaller independent developer's utility. Before relying on this app long-term, contact the developer directly to confirm whether a native Apple Silicon build exists or is planned, since the Intel-only build will stop launching when Apple removes Rosetta 2 in macOS 28 (September 2028). If you need a quick alternative that definitely runs natively on M-series Macs, Lungo is a free, actively maintained menu-bar app that keeps your Mac awake on demand and is confirmed to run natively on Apple Silicon.
