Bit unfortunate to me, I dislike the name given its drug connotation and don’t use it simply for that reason. I believe Apple should remove it without a name and icon change.

Amphetamines have documented and accepted medical value to individuals diagnosed with conditions such as sleep apnea, eating disorders and ADHD. Do you ascribe also these individuals and their practicioner with drug connotations, maybe you simply avoid them?

The name of the application seems appropriate for addressing common problmens described in ways like, > “sleep behavior [..] affecting several of my operations, I have been trying to use caffeinate ..”

KeepingYouAwake is a nice open source alternative that you can find on GitHub
And for simple use cases, Apple ships a "caffeinate" command-line utility with the OS that might just do what you want.
so swap one stimulant drug name for another
Thanks, I use my own I wrote for hammerspoon.
I don’t like your username. I believe HN mods should simply remove your account without a name change.
