Lungo
Keeps your Mac awake from the menu bar
Mac$4 once
The verdict
If you present slides, follow a recipe on your Mac or watch videos in a small window, Lungo keeps the screen from dimming for a set time or until you switch it off. It starts from a right-click, a keyboard shortcut, Shortcuts or the terminal, and turns itself off when you unplug. At $4 it costs more than the free KeepingYouAwake, and the App Store version can't stop sleep when you close the lid.
Get it if
You present from your Mac every week and want a timed awake switch you can trigger with a hotkey.
Skip it if
You just want a plain on and off switch, and KeepingYouAwake and Amphetamine both do that for free.
