Brett, is this still working for you? I'm seeing some random 'net comments with people saying it doesn't actually do anything for the last couple of macOS versions? Thanks in advance!

I think they might be right. I don't use it often but I'm pretty sure last time I did it failed to do anything at all.

Caffeinate is pretty cool, and I finally uninstalled the trusty Caffeine after a while. But, I wanted an easier way to control it. I use Alfred, and I have the PowerPack, so, quite a while ago, I wrote a nice little workflow that will let you enable/disable it and set the preferences for just how you want to invoke it. If you're an Alfred user and want a copy of that workflow, you can find it here: http://www.packal.org/workf...

AWESOME. Had no clue this existed (despite having used Caffeine for many years).
