One Minute WIN: Caffeine
(Posts here at SUPERnewb have been a bit on the long side so far, but I’ll also be doing some really quick ones that offer a useful tip in about a minute of reading time - I’m calling these posts One Minute WIN, and this is the first of ‘em.)
Screen savers and the energy-saving auto-sleep features in modern operating systems are useful, especially for those of us who work on laptops most of the time, but sometimes they can be a pain. Running a presentation? Watching a movie? You really don’t want to be interrupted by a screen take-over at a key moment.
Luckily there’s a handy little single-purpose app called Caffeine that lets you easily ensure your content will stay up on the screen. Running silently in your menu bar (or system tray for you Windows types), Caffeine temporarily disables any screen saver or auto-sleep features when toggled on. And it’s a lot easier than digging into your system settings every time you need to ensure your screen stays on.
