Utilities Developer Jianfeng Lin Size 3.4 MB Mac Tired of waiting for your external drive to wake up? Drive Caffeine keeps it spinning, so documents, media files, and backups are always instant. Your external drive falls asleep quickly after you stop touching it — then you wait five to ten seconds, listening to it whir back to life, every single time you open a file, scrub a video, or load a photo. macOS energy settings can't fix it, because the sleep timer lives in the hard drive or enclosure's own firmware, out of the system's reach. Drive Caffeine keeps your external drive awake so it's always ready. No more spin-up wait. No more beach ball when you click into your media library. No more…from apps.apple.com

Hi HN! I was super frustrated at apps like tiktok and wechat preventing me from saving or downloading the animated gifs, so I made a little tool to turn a screen recording into a slack-sized emoji. Hope you get some value from this!
