Sigh, this is disappointing. I’ve been using Amphetamine for years and it’s quite literally one of a handful of utility apps on the App Store that isn’t a scam or neutered by the policies of the store. Apple was right to recognize it it in the past, and they are wrong today in their reinterpretation of the guidelines.

FWIW, I do app review policy for iSH, which went though a similar situation recently (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=25028252) where we managed to convince Apple that they had misinterpreted their review guidelines. If you’re looking for help to get Amphetamine approved as it should, feel free to contact me at saagar@saagarjha.com. I’d be really disappointed to see Amphetamine lose its years of brand value over such a petty review decision.

I hope the author see's your comment but he may not even be aware of this post on Hacker News. His twitter is in the original article - it would be worth a quick tweet to him too as I to use and am a fan of Amphetamine and would hate to see it go, or the author have to expend energy fixing something that isn't broken vs. spending his time on work that would bring actual value :/

I don't have a Twitter, unfortunately. However, I did create an issue on the GitHub project: https://github.com/x74353/SaveAmphetamine/issues/4. I noticed someone filed https://github.com/x74353/SaveAmphetamine/issues/8 which got a response with an email in it, so I'll follow up there.
