Caffeine is a simple application that, while active, will avoid your computer going on standby. Even though this function can be configured through the System Preferences, with this software you'll always have a small cup of coffee, on the right side of the menu bar, available to save you time.

A shot of caffeine for your Mac
If the coffee cup is full or active, the computer won't go to sleep. This is really useful when we're watching a film, we have a download application running, or we simply don't want our Mac to fall asleep. With a simple click on the cup, it will appear empty, and Caffeine will be deactivated. Therefore, the computer will go to sleep whenever it's configured to do so.

Avoid your computer from falling asleep, whatever it takes.
Caffeine has a simple set of options that can be seen by right-clicking on its icon. By means of these options we'll be able to program the application to stay active during a specific amount of time, that can range from 5 minutes to 5 hours. We can also configure if the application will open when the system starts, and it will activate then.
With Caffeine you'll be able to watch films on your Mac without it going to sleep, no matter what configuration you have. You'll only have to worry about not falling asleep yourself.
Prevent your computer from going to sleep
If you have problems with your PC locking or going to sleep, caffeine will keep it awake. It works by simulating a keypress once every 59 seconds, so your machine thinks you're still working at the keyboard, so won't lock the screen or activate the screensaver.
The icon is shown above - it's the leftmost one in the task tray, and this is all you see. Double-clicking the icon empties the coffee pot (that's what the icon is) and temporarily disables the program. Double-clicking it again refills the pot, and will keep your machine awake.
By default the app starts enabled, and works every 59 seconds. There are some command line switches you can use to alter this behaviour:
xx- where xx is a number which sets the number of seconds between simulated keypresses. This must be the first text on the commandline-startoff- application starts disabled.-exitafter:xx- application will terminate after xx minutes-activefor:xx- application will become inactive after xx minutes-inactivefor:xx- application will become active after xx minutes-appexit- terminates current running instance of application-appon- makes the current running instance of the application active-appoff- makes the current running instance of the application inactive-apptoggle- toggles the running state of the current running instance of the application-apptoggleshowdlg- toggles the running state, and shows dialog-replace- closes the current running instance, replacing it-noicon- does not show a task tray icon-useshift- simulate the shift key instead of F15-showdlg- shows a dialog indicating whether caffeine is active-ontaskbar- show a task bar button (use with -showdlg)-allowss- prevent sleep, but allow the screensaver to start-key:xx- simulate using virtual key code xx

Compatibility
Caffeine works by simulating an F15 key up event every 59 seconds. Of all the key presses available, F15 is probably the least intrusive, and least likely to interfere with your work.
However, Caffeine might interfere with some apps: Mysqldump example.
- PowerPoint uses the F15 keypress to pause video in a slide
- Google Docs/Sheets
- Smartsheet
- Terminal emulation, e.g. Putty
If you think any of these might cause you a problem, set the -useshift command line parameter.
