`caffeine` is built into Mac so they don’t even need to install anything.


caffeinate is the command-line utility that is included by default. Caffeine is a third-party macOS app for controlling this utility.

I didn't know caffeinate was a thing though, that's good to know.


Sorry I thought the app was just named after the command. Thanks for fact checking me!
