Timed sessions
Start Coffee indefinitely or choose a short session from five minutes to five hours.
macOS menu-bar utility
Coffee keeps your Mac awake.
Use Coffee when you need your Mac to stay active during calls, demos, long builds, downloads, or long-running tasks. It stays small, lives in the menu bar, and now updates itself through Sparkle.

Activity Pulse
Built for quiet focus.
Coffee is intentionally narrow: one fast control surface for keeping work visible and long-running work visible without opening a heavy settings app.
Display control
Let the display dim naturally, or keep it awake for demos, calls, and monitoring.
Activity pulse
Optionally send a periodic activity pulse while Coffee is active.
Screenshots
The app opens with a compact control window and keeps the same controls available from the menu bar.
