Why switch from Caffeine to Little Insomniac
Everything Caffeine does, plus much more
Run on any platform, not just Mac
Unlike Caffeine which is Mac-only, Little Insomniac works on Mac, Windows, and Linux. Plus browser extensions for Chrome, Firefox, and Opera.
Schedule wake periods with timers
Caffeine is always on or off. Little Insomniac lets you set timers and schedules so your computer only stays awake when needed.
Use a modern, actively maintained app
Caffeine hasn't been updated in years. Little Insomniac is actively developed with regular updates, new features, and modern OS support.

Caffeine users who switched
What former Caffeine users say about Little Insomniac
I used Caffeine for years but it stopped working on newer macOS. Little Insomniac works perfectly.
Switched when I got a Windows laptop for work. Now I use Little Insomniac on both my Mac and PC.
The timer feature is so much better than Caffeine's always-on approach. I don't drain my battery anymore.
