Jiggler
When you have some lengthy task for your computer to do, it’s annoying to have to turn off your screensaver and turn off the sleep timer, only to have to turn it all back on again when you’re done. Jiggler is a freeware menu bar app that keeps your Mac awake. It’s a little helper that bumps your mouse every once in a while to keep your machine alert.
