Easy Energy Saver Control

posted by acaben on Friday January 25, @07:22AM

Bryan Hansen writes "MacSlash, I've been a professional mac developer for a couple years now and recently I've spent some time on a couple small side-project apps and I'm trying to let people know about my latest effort, Jolt.
If you've ever wanted to delay energy saver from kicking in for just a few minutes so you can watch a YouTube video, read something on the screen, etc without having to touch the mouse, then Jolt is for you. I've always had a fascination with solid and simple user interfaces, so I've designed Jolt with that in mind. One click and its active. I'm also benefiting some charities through this app to let people support some worthy causes.

If you find it useful I'd love it to be mentioned in any way. The biggest problem for mac apps like this is getting the word out that they even exist. "

Stick Software's Jiggler [sticksoftware.com] has been doing the same thing for a long time as a small app. Works by wiggling the mouse periodically.

Lighthead's Caffeine [lightheadsw.com] is another very similar piece of software, though it does not have the ability to set a duration like Jolt does.

That was fun while it lasted.
