Caffeine is a lightweight utility app for macOS that prevents your Mac from automatically falling asleep, dimming the screen, or starting screen savers. A small icon sits in the menu bar — click it to activate Caffeine and keep your Mac awake, click again to deactivate. You can also hold Command while clicking to reveal a submenu for automatic deactivation after a set number of minutes. It is used by power users, students, content creators and anyone who needs their Mac to stay responsive during presentations, downloads, or extended work sessions. A native Apple Silicon build has been confirmed running on Macs in the Rosetta Check community.
AI Recommendation
1 suggestionCaffeine now ships with full native Apple Silicon support. Download the current version from the IntelliScape Solutions website (the official developer page now hosts Caffeine) to get the native build automatically — the download page serves the correct Universal Binary for M-series Macs. After installing, your preferences and menu bar settings carry over without any manual migration. You will see slightly lower CPU usage compared to running the older Intel build under Rosetta, though Caffeine is already a very lightweight app so the difference is modest.
