Caffeine: Keeps Your Computer Awake When You Need It

Here’s a useful tool that ranks as high as a morning cup of coffee in my book. (Which is about as high as you can imagine.)

Do you get annoyed when your computer screen goes to sleep in the middle of something you’re doing (e.g., having a meeting with a client, watching a webinar, or uploading a file)? Me too. That’s why I was so happy to discover Caffeine, (app store link) a cool app that allows you to override your screen saver settings and set the automatic sleep time to be whatever you want.

I love the fact that when the app is turned on, it shows a full cup of steaming coffee — and when it’s off, the cup is empty.

… This is one kind of caffeine that will never give you a headache.
