Lungo

Lungo prevents your Mac from falling asleep and your screen from dimming. This can be useful when, for example, doing a presentation at work or having a recipe open on your Mac while cooking. It's a modern alternative to Caffeine, which hasn't been updated in years and lacks retina icon and dark mode support. Lungo is my third macOS app this year. Previous ones are Battery Indicator and Touch Bar Simulator. I started learning macOS app development and Swift at the beginning of the year. My goal is to do six macOS apps in 2017, to learn to ship and get better at Swift. You can read more about Lungo in my announcement blog post. (The FAQ section there answers most questions you might have) How is this different from Amphetamine? Amphetamine has lots features. Most of which I would never use. It ships with a myriad of menu bar icons to choose from, but none that I think look good. With Lungo I wanted a focused and simple app with great defaults, in the same spirit as the original Caffeine app.

I've been using Lungo since its early beta and I'm enjoying it so far. Nice touches like option clicking the menubar icon to activate/deactivate it and built-in timeouts (10 minutes, 1 hour, forever, etc) make this app a pleasure to use. I know Sindre is also working on some kick-ass animation for the menubar icon and it's stunning. I'd download Lungo just for that at least :) It's nothing like I've seen before.

Does it prevents MacBook from sleeping when mac is closed?

Hello, It's same than caffeine command line but with UI or there is a difference ? I think this is a good feature but a developer feature so they probably already use the command line

How does it compare with Amphetamine?

Thanks for building such a useful and modern tool. One thing I miss about it from my days of using Caffeine is the ability to turn it on/off with one click. What do you think about making the menu pop up only on right click?

Looks interesting, will deffo give it a try
