#Amphetamine amphetamine mac
Amphetamine has become popular via word-of-mouth and it is consistently ranked high in the Mac App Store (which gives it visibility to those browsing the App Store charts). I also don't have an advertising budget either. As an independent developer, with little to no income from my apps, I don't have a desire or the financial resources to pay out-of-pocket for the bandwidth and web hosting fees that would be incurred by distributing Amphetamine outside of the App Store. For better or worse, the App Store is an easy way to distribute apps. Why Not Un-Sandbox Amphetamine and Distribute it Outside the App Store?Īmphetamine is a popular app and is downloaded hundreds to thousands of times every day. Since Amphetamine Enhancer is not distributed through the App Store, it's not sandboxed and isn't limited in the same ways Amphetamine is. That's where Amphetamine Enhancer comes in. Getting a list of every app and process running on your Mac is something a sandboxed app can't do. Unfortunately, sandboxing also means that certain actions/tasks can't be completed by the sandboxed app. This is usually a good thing as it helps prevent malware and viruses from taking over your Mac or stealing your information. Sandboxing severely limits what an app can do on your Mac. All apps distributed through the Mac App Store are sandboxed (it's a requirement). More enhancements may be added in the future.Īmphetamine itself is a sandboxed app. Gives Amphetamine 5.0+ the ability to use all running processes with Triggers and app-based sessions.Adds a fail-safe for the closed-display mode feature found in Amphetamine 5.0+.In its 1.0 release, Amphetamine Enhancer adds the following abilities to Amphetamine:

Want to skip the introduction and just download Amphetamine Enhancer? Click here.Īmphetamine Enhancer is a helper application that enhances a couple of Amphetamine's features. Will review later.NOTE: Amphetamine Enhancer requires Amphetamine 5.0. So, that barrier was defeated (easily) and now I'm going to be testing it and comparing experiences. It worked! I named my emply folder > Amphetamine Keep Alive My Drive, which i was able to choose in Amphetamine preferences > Drive Alive. Then, select the folder instead of the root of the drive. Try creating a new folder at the root of the drive for use with Drive Alive. UPDATE: Boy that was quick! They responded almost immediately and told me to do this: i filed a support request w/ amphetamine cuz i would like to try it and see if it's indeed better as so many reviews say. One of the positive/different things about keep drive spinning is it allows me to use admin pw to force KDS to choose the external drive. i guess it's the external drive, that's what i've analyzed it to so far). My system won't let me choose the external backup drive used for time machine to stay awake (because it causes my whole system/imac to stall/lag/freeze. Waiting to see if i can get an apparent permissions drawback overcome.
