Caffeinate is definitely the one I miss most on Windows. Super handy to keep your machine awake whilst some task is ongoing.

  I’ve been looking for a better way to do this than just setting my PC to never sleep. Thanks for this. Now I need to find a Mac alternative as well.

  I believe you can still get it, if not, there are similar like Amphetamine

  Amphetamine has been my go-to app for keeping my Mac alive, especially since Apple tried to remove it from the App Store because, according to [someone?], the name violated App Store rules. https://apps.apple.com/us/app/amphetamine/id937984704 https://apps.apple.com/us/app/amphetamine/id937984704

    I switched to Amphetamine a few years back because caffeinate doesn't work consistently.
