Red Eye is a menu-bar app that has one very simple but
useful purpose – it prevents your Mac from going to sleep.
The author suggests that this can come in handy when
making presentations or downloading large files. It can be
enabled and disabled with a singleclick. Apple has banned
the app from the Mac App Store for “duplicate functionality
that already exists” so, for now, you needto download it
directly from the author’s page.
