I was about ready to warn you that was a trademark, but it isn’t I think, only the generic name. Nice work.

Thanks!

hahah I actually didn't know that. If it was a violation, would've been cool to get a cease and desist for Modafinil of all things :P

Great! I always used sudo pmset disablesleep 1 Is a great app

Thanks!

Yeah this is basically just a convenient wrapper around that command, with some extra machinery to turn off the display when the lid closes.

Will this turn off the display if the lid is closed?

Modafinil will prevent sleep and turn off the display when you close the lid. But just the `sudo pmset disablesleep 1` command alone will only prevent sleep when you close the lid, it won't turn off the display.
