I don’t think Apple has a strong argument, given the feature set of the app, but I also think the name is kind of tacky/in poor taste. I used an identical app for years called Caffeine. Yes, Apple should buzz off, but choose your battles.

I agree. When I turned my wife's old MacBook into a media server, I needed an app like this. I chose one that didn't share its name with controlled substance.
