Lungo 1.8.0 May 2026

Lungo is a streamlined productivity app for macOS designed to prevent your computer from going to sleep, dimming its screen, or starting a screensaver. Version 1.8.0, released in early 2024, introduces several refinements and feature updates that solidify its position as a modern, lightweight alternative to older tools like Caffeine or Amphetamine.

One of Lungo's strongest selling points is its efficiency. Unlike more complex alternatives, Lungo has a negligible impact on CPU and RAM. In version 1.8.0, the developer, Sindre Sorhus , has further optimized the code to ensure it remains responsive even on older Intel-based Macs while being fully native for Apple Silicon (M1/M2/M3).
