Coffee Buzz
Coffee Buzz is a macOS utility app designed to prevent your Mac from going to sleep, keeping the system active and responsive without interrupting your workflow. It provides a simple and convenient way to disable sleep effects while allowing the display to sleep, ensuring macOS remains active in the background. The app features a status bar icon with timer visibility, configurable login startup, and a mini window that floats above other applications. Coffee Buzz version 2.0 introduced significant quality-of-life improvements and is particularly useful for professionals who need their Mac to stay awake during long-running tasks, presentations, or downloads. However, the developer has discontinued support and removed it from the Mac App Store, though existing installations should continue to work.
Suggested Replacements
1 suggestionCoffee Buzz is no longer supported by its developer and has been removed from the Mac App Store. However, excellent alternatives exist that provide similar functionality with active development and Apple Silicon support. Amphetamine is the most recommended replacement, offering the same core sleep-prevention features with additional customization options and native Apple Silicon support. Another solid alternative is Caffeine for Mac, which provides a lightweight solution with similar menu bar controls. Both alternatives are actively maintained and work seamlessly on modern Macs including Apple Silicon devices.
