Have You Rested / Amphetamine alternative
An Amphetamine alternative that responds when you leave
Amphetamine keeps a Mac awake from manual or session rules. Have You Rested uses local camera detection instead: the display stays on while you look, turns off when you turn away, and the Mac can sleep after you leave. It also includes 20-20-20 break reminders.
The difference
| Feature | Availability |
|---|---|
| Keep the Mac awake while you are present | Pro |

| 20-20-20 breaks plus blink and posture reminders | Free |
It may fit better if
- You want the display to stay on while you are present and switch off when you leave.
- You want to stop jiggling the mouse just to keep a screen awake.
- You want display sleep and 20-20-20 eye breaks in one native Mac menu bar app.
Privacy model
Presence detection runs locally using Apple Vision. No video is recorded, no screenshots are taken, and frames are processed and discarded. If you do not want continuous camera use, Privacy Mode keeps the camera off during normal work.
