• Download file wants internet access

  mr.realityDecember 18, 2014

  Pros

  I don't have any.

  Cons

  The file that you download requires access to the internet. That's a non-starter.

• Comes with unwanted mallware :-(

  cmikkelsenFebruary 22, 2014

  Pros

  The Caffeine does what it's supposed to, but...

  Cons

  Comes with PassShow and other unwanted adds that will spam you with adds on every website you go to

  Summary

  Not a recomended software, if you are not an experiensed user it's difficult to clean your computer for all the extra mallware/addware.

• Simple and does the trick with no bloat

  syordyJanuary 17, 2014

  Pros

  Simple, one file, no install install (simply put it on your machine)

  Cons

  No options from the GUI, like "run when Windows starts", but also not really needed.

  Summary

  Small, simple file that does just what you need it to do with no frills or hassles.

• Simple program that does what it says.

  CaptseadogOctober 25, 2011

  Pros

  You don't have to move your mouse to keep your screen from sleeping. It does it behind the scenes so you are free to watch a movie etc without disturbance.

  Cons

  You have to remember to turn it off.

  Summary

  I have it on all my computers and smartphones.

• Stops unnecessary screen saver locks

  wsimondsMarch 9, 2011

  Pros

  Works as advertised...simple...straight forward...resides in the tool tray so you can see it is on and working

  Cons

  Changing default settings requires a command line entry instead of having an option menu in the program

  Summary

  It would have gotten 5 stars except getting it to use a different key stroke emulation (which I need it to do) requires a manual start from the command window with a toggle. I wanted it to auto start and with a different key stroke than the default because one of my programs uses that key stroke. Problem solved when I wrote a batch file and dropped that in the Windows Startup folder. But now IT has blocked all batch files so I have to start it manually each time. It needs a "preferences" option within the program to configure things that you want to change permanently. Making the user have to manually start the program from the command line each time you boot up detracts from an otherwise great little utility.

• Frustration Saver

  wsimondsFebruary 2, 2010

  Pros

  Small, easy, invisible, no bugs, no hit to performance, no complicated hooha. Just a neat work around for an annoying screen saver lock down

  Cons

  There are none

  Summary

  If you, like me, work in an environment where the IT department knows better than you how to configure your computer and insists on setting your screen saver to come on in too short a period of inactivity, sets it to require you to re-enter your log on information to get back to your desktop, and grays out the option to turn all of that off; THIS is the app for you. If you are running Windows, just drop this little puppy into your Start Up folder on your start menu and every time you boot up, it will run automatically in the background with just a small icon in your tool box. Just another little way of sticking it to the man. =)
