Developer Releases Caffeine: Keeps Mac Awake While Claude Code and Codex Run
iannuttall · x · 2026-08-12
A developer rebuilt the classic Mac app Caffeine to accommodate AI coding agents. The app features an Agent Watch that hooks into Claude Code and Codex, keeping the Mac awake while the agent works on a turn and releasing it to sleep when waiting for user input. It supports CLI controls and ensures that no prompts or process details ever leave the local machine.
