Lungo: App That Keeps Your Mac Awake

I want to share one small app that I find particularly useful for me. There are some situations during the day when I need to be sure that my Mac won’t sleep or lower the brightness of the screen.

Here are my use cases:

  • Compiling Chromium, which I do approximately once a week, by leaving my laptop on overnight.
  • Doing a presentation.
  • Learning German and having a textbook with exercises open on my Mac.
  • Watching videos in non-fullscreen mode.

Going to System Preferences -> Energy Saver and changing it every time doesn’t seem productive to me.

And here comes Lungo:

Dead simple app. In two clicks, you can prevent your Mac from falling asleep for a definite or indefinite period of time.

Super convenient! Thanks to @sindresorhus.
