Amphetamine Enhancer
Amphetamine Enhancer is a lightweight menu-bar utility that prevents your Mac from sleeping when you need it to stay awake. It lets you set custom keep-awake schedules, disable sleep for specific applications or for a set duration, and manage power-saving behavior without diving into System Settings. Users rely on it when running background tasks, during presentations, while rendering or downloading, or simply to override macOS's automatic sleep when needed. The app sits unobtrusively in the menu bar and offers both quick toggles and detailed scheduling options.
AI Recommendation
1 suggestionThe search results confirm that Amphetamine Enhancer includes a native Apple Silicon (arm64) build as a Universal Binary — the technical analysis shows the executable contains three architectures including a 64-bit ARM processor type. This means the app can run natively on M-series Macs without relying on Rosetta 2. If your installed copy is an older Intel-only build, simply re-download and reinstall the latest version from the official GitHub releases page or through the app's built-in updater. After updating, you will see better performance and battery efficiency on Apple Silicon Macs. The app appears to be maintained and actively distributed via GitHub, so keep an eye on the releases page for any future updates.
