Caffeinated is a paid menu-bar app that prevents your Mac from sleeping, dimming or starting the screensaver with a single click. AwakeMate is a modern, automatic take: instead of a manual toggle, it watches the tools and agents you care about, sleeps when they idle, and shows what is keeping the Mac awake right in the notch.
You want a simple paid one-click toggle from the App Store.
You want it to be automatic and aware of your work - detection, per-tool idle sleep, a notch widget, battery rules and usage stats.
