Incredibly insensitive product naming.

I’m guessing the software authors don’t have children and don’t have multiple friends and family who’s lives have been destroyed by meth.

Instead it’s just a bro having cool fun with words “hey keeps your computer awake! Get it? Ha! So clever!”

Take it easy, it was named after an older similar app, Caffeine.

It’s a clever name because it rhymes and they’re both stimulants. That’s all.
