or install it via [cask](http://caskroom.io/): `brew cask install keepingyouawake`.

## Why does this project exist, Caffeine.app works perfectly fine? ##

*[Caffeine](http://lightheadsw.com/caffeine/)* from *Lighthead Software* is a great utility and I used it for many years, but it hasn't been updated in a while. Its icons are not Retina-compatible and do not look nice in the dark themed menu bar.

## How do you prevent my Mac from sleeping? ##

This utility is just a small wrapper around Apple's caffeinate command line utilty. Any modern Mac ships this tool by default. You can read the manpage [here](https://developer.apple.com/library/mac/documentation/Darwin/Reference/ManPages/man8/caffeinate.8.html).

## Is this dangerous? ##

Just to make it clear: this utility shouldn't harm your Mac because it is using an official command line tool from Apple, **BUT** I cannot guarantee anything, so use this tool **AT YOUR OWN RISK**.

## Help Wanted! ##
