Alternative to Insomniat/x

[Drecca]

Hey all,

Is there an alternative to Insomiat/x? I can't use the former anymore, since it would crash my MBP when switching between discrete and internal graphics (gfxcardstatus).

And I can't use the latter, since it just doesn't work on Lion, when I did test it a few months ago.

Caffeine? It's in the Mac App Store.

I recently switched from InsomniaX to use the free NoSleep tool and works perfectly and I love the simple on off switch (one click on the icon on the menu bar)

I've been using InsomniaX on ALL versions of Lion without crashing, and also in conjunction with gfxCardStatus. No other app that I could find would let me force-enable clamshell mode.
Caffeine is good as long as you keep the lid open; otherwise, the computer still goes to sleep.

Try InsomniaX now. It should work. I've used it literally 3 minutes ago.
