About This App

Amphetamine is a lightweight utility that prevents your Mac from sleeping based on customisable conditions. Unlike macOS's built-in Energy Saver settings, Amphetamine lets you create sessions triggered by application focus, connected drives, network activity, battery level, or elapsed time—useful for developers during long compiles, video editors rendering footage, presenters during talks, or anyone waiting on extended downloads. It operates from the menu bar, offers AppleScript and Shortcuts integration, and includes a Drive Alive feature to keep specific external or internal drives active. The app is free with optional donations.

Amphetamine ships as a native Apple Silicon build and has since version 5.1 (released several years ago). The app is distributed free on the Mac App Store and receives regular updates—the latest version is fully native arm64 with no Rosetta 2 dependency, verified by direct binary inspection. If you are running an older version, open the Mac App Store and update Amphetamine to the latest build; the update is automatic once installed. If you downloaded it directly rather than from the App Store, re-download from the official Mac App Store page to ensure you have the current native build. Amphetamine will continue to work natively when Apple removes Rosetta 2 in macOS 28 (September 2028), so no further action is needed beyond keeping it up to date as you normally would.
