Owly Overview

What is Owly? Owly is a Mac app that prevents the computer from automatically sleeping by keeping the screen from dimming and disabling screen savers. It is activated by right-clicking the Owly icon on the menu bar, which can be toggled on and off. The app is useful for situations where the user wants to keep certain information on the screen while not actively using the keyboard or mouse. Owly can be customized through its preferences, including setting it to launch at login, adjusting the duration of its activity, and allowing the Mac to sleep after a selected battery percentage threshold. The developers plan on an active development cycle and encourage feedback from users.

Software Reviews and Criticism

    Yet another reason to love this app

    I won't repeat the other reviewers here that all say this app is PERFECT, but I will add yet another reason to love it. If you connect a smart TV to your Windows through the HDMI port (to use as a monitor), you'll notice that most smart TV's will sleep after 10 or so minutes, with NO ABILITY to disable this sleep mode, either through the TV or Windows, because no keyboard/mouse inputs are being received by the smart TV. Owly solves this problem by (apparently) sending enough signal inputs to the TV to stay on. This is a huge blessing, because my smart TV would turn off after 10 minutes of no mouse/keyboard inputs. Owly has solved yet another sleep issue. Thank you and please keep this app alive!!!

    One of my 100% apps — Excellent!

    This is one of the few apps that I have running 100% of the time. I find it so convenient to be able to keep my screen on all the time when I am around it, but then click it to screen saver if I leave my office. I used to use the “hot corners” feature of the screen saver for this, but I would unintentionally turn on screen saver, so turned that feature off. My Windows is my “planner” at work, so it’s helpful to have the screen visible all the time, even if I am not typing or clicking for a while. I also like that I can have Owly in the bar at the top of the screen without having it take up a spot in the dock.

    Thank you!

    I love this app. My company forces computers to lock after 3 minutes, which means I can be thinking about something and have my computer lock on me. They disabled Touch ID and disabled the ability to adjust the lock timing. I understand this from a security perspective, but I am working from home. I live alone. So unless someone breaks in, no one has access to this computer whether locked or not. So I installed this app to get around it. It works perfectly!!! It prevents my display from sleeping and my computer from locking. Before I was moving my mouse incessently like a psychopath and now I can work peacefully! Thanks Owly!

    Owly

    It works very well and (as far as I can tell) does not slow down or otherwise interfere with computer speed. It seems to be an elegant app that performs exactly as advertised. It’s very helpful to be able to prevent Windows from falling asleep during long downloads, or when burning or ripping large files. You could just go to Settings on the Windows and change the Power Usage settings, but that’s a multi-step pain, and I forget to reset to defaults and then my battery runs down fast.

    Perfect Replacement for Caffeine

    Like so many before me, I was sad to lose the Caffeine app when I replaced my Pc. Because Caffeine is no longer supported, I had to find something to replace it. I tried a couple of options before Owly and I have to say, Owly blows the rest of them out of the water. So simple to use, doesn’t require any fancy setup and doesn’t ask you to mess with settings. I love it! In fact, I love it even more than I loved Caffeine, and that's saying something!
