KeepingYouAwake is a free, lightweight utility for macOS that prevents your Mac from automatically sleeping or entering screen saver mode. It sits in the menu bar and lets you toggle sleep prevention on and off with a single click, useful when you're giving a presentation, watching a video, or performing a task that requires your screen to stay active. The app is open source and designed as a simple, no-frills alternative to system preferences, requiring no configuration or special permissions.

1 suggestionKeepingYouAwake is an actively maintained open-source project with a native Apple Silicon build available. Check the developer's GitHub repository (github.com/marcel-dierkes/KeepingYouAwake) for the latest release, which includes a Universal Binary that runs natively on M-series Macs. If you are running an older Intel-only build under Rosetta, download the latest release to get native performance. The app's configuration and behavior remain unchanged after updating.
