Overview
Caffeinate & DisableSleep is a lightweight native macOS utility that turns two common Terminal commands into a simple menu bar control. It can run timed caffeinate sessions, prevent the Mac from sleeping with the lid closed, or combine both modes while allowing the screen to sleep and lock normally after inactivity. The app is signed and notarized and requires a one-time sudo rule for the lid-closed sleep setting.
