Caffeinated

Description:

For every single iconic phrase "nothing in life is free" mentioned, there are hundreds of open-source applications designed to fulfill niche requirements of a user base's smallest portions without subjecting them to expensive licensing fees or privacy-breaking terms and conditions.

One such example is Caffeinated, an app ported from its macOS counterpart and forked by a developer who wanted to continue supporting it for longer than its creator intended.

When it comes to projects of this type, the concern is usually directed towards the longevity and compatibility with newer versions of its target operating system.

However, given the openly available source code, other passionate community members tend to pick up the work when the program is no longer receiving updates, unlike certain licensed products that cannot be used at all once the company behind them is shut down and the purchase links are made unavailable.

While Windows does allow you to change the default screen timeout settings in order to prevent the computer from turning itself off or going into sleep mode, doing so requires digging into the Settings app every single time a particular set of circumstances requires it.

Features:

• Convenient shortcut in the system tray


• Ability to toggle always-on mode


• Support for changing between three different icon sets


• Listed on the Microsoft Store for easier updates


• Prevents computer from turning off for 15 minutes up to 8 hours
