# Caffeine ships no command-line tool, so what a consumer sees when the user

# runs it is the bundle identifier. Both are listed because both are Caffeine:

# the project's own README explains that "Tomas Franzén of Lighthead Software

# originally developed Caffeine in 2006" and that in 2018 he "graciously

# provided the source code under an open source license", which is where

# IntelliScape's build comes from.

# The current build's preferences domain is com.intelliscapesolutions.caffeine:

# the Homebrew cask's `uninstall quit:` names that bundle identifier and its

# `zap trash:` list names ~/Library/Preferences/com.intelliscapesolutions.caffeine.plist

# (Casks/c/caffeine.rb). The Lighthead build wrote

# ~/Library/Preferences/com.lightheadsw.caffeine.plist, which is still on this

# machine from an older install and is what a long-time user's home directory

# holds; a consumer skips whichever is absent.

# The README says what is in there: "Options you can configure include whether

# to start Caffeine automatically every time you start up your Mac, whether

# Caffeine should activate every time it starts, and a default duration if you

# always want Caffeine to turn itself off after a set time."

# The cask's zap list also names ~/Library/Caches/com.intelliscapesolutions.caffeine

# and an HTTPStorages cookie jar. Neither is under a path above, so there is

# nothing to carve out of what is.

exclude = []

# Caffeine talks to no service and is free; there is no credential file.

secret = []

# No machine_lines: start-at-login, activate-on-launch and the default duration

# are exactly the preferences a user wants on their second Mac too.

Opens Otty and adds this tool to what it syncs

Opens otty://sync/add/caffeine. Otty ships with this catalog, so the link only has to name the tool — nothing is downloaded.

Every one of these is generated from the same rules as this page.
