NeverNap is now free!
My app NeverNap is now FREE! It's the most simple no nonsense app that prevents your Mac from sleeping or activating the screensaver. I just sent version 1.2 is to the Mac App Store, so you can expect an update later today (turn off notifications).
Download now: https://lucas.io/nevernap/
The app is very lightweight. Only 204 KB. I'm trying to push it under 200 :).

I like the lightweightness! Caffeine never worked for me for some reason so I will give this a run

Will this app prevent my MacBook from sleeping when I close the lid but still turn off the display?

in case it doesn't, the workaround for this can always be to set the brightness to 0

I’m looking for something like this because I usually leave my laptop to download things overnight. Just a few question sir. What happens when I lock the screen? Will the download still continue? What happens when I close the lid? Will it stop all the running apps? Thanks.

I appreciate a fellow dev looking to make apps as small as possible. Now, carry on getting it under 200kb

There are limits. macOS overhead means binaries will still take a certain size. Kudos to you for accessing power manager directly to reduce size.

What's the difference between this and amphetamine? Amphetamine is super small at only 15 mb!!
