Well, this sums it up :)

"It's ____ on steroids" is the most cliche, uncreative tagline. Well played, Amphetamine makers. 😃

@rrhoover Kind of the point :) . Amphetamine: It's Caffeine on steroids was too ridiculous/stupid not to use.

Just the name alone deserves an upvote. :D

Is Amphetamine stronger than Caffeine? http://lightheadsw.com/caffeine/

@kevinace Amphetamine does everything Caffeine does, with some additional features like scheduled activation and system-wide hotkey support. Oh, and Retina display /Dark mode support, too!

Always nice to see submissions, but the additional features you mentioned don't feel like a strong enough hook to draw me away from Caffeine; a program I've been using for years now and have gained some brand loyalty to.

@nathenmcvittie Understandable. Caffeine is a great app. For some folks though, Caffeine doesn't quite cut it anymore, and that's why I made Amphetamine.

I recall using something called Insomniax to achieve this.

@jeshalom InsomniaX is a great app! But unfortunately, not App Store-compatible.

A lot has changed since Amphetamine was first featured on Product Hunt. New features such as keeping your Mac awake while only specific apps are running, while you're connected to specific WiFi networks; or whether your Mac is plugged in or using battery (or your battery is below a specific %). You can use your own custom icons for Amphetamine's menu bar images, and that's not all. If you skipped on it before, now's a good time to take another look.
