Lungo prevents your Mac from falling asleep and your screen from dimming.

This can be useful when:
– Doing a presentation at work
– Watching YouTube videos in non-fullscreen mode
– Cooking and having the recipe open on your computer
– Reading a long article without scrolling
– Using the screen to view live stats
– Monitoring progress on a long-running task

Features:
– Right-click or Option-click the menu bar icon to quickly activate.
– Choose to activate with left-click instead in the Preferences.
– Choose to activate at launch in the Preferences.
– Set the default duration in the Preferences, which is used when Lungo is activated by clicking the menu bar icon.

Important: Lungo will not prevent your Mac from sleeping if you close the lid. This is a Mac App Store limitation.

I am using this application to keep my Airport awake (which has another external USB drive connected to it storing my iTunes library). This appears to work great while my Mac is powered on and even when I open/close iTunes, but when I reboot the MacI have to go into iTunes preferences to reset my iTunes library location to the External/Airport drive.

– Added a “12 Hour” duration.

– Fixed an issue with starting a new session while one is already running.
