## What is Coca?

Introducing Coca for iOS a companion app for Coca's macOS version, in order to check in on your Mac that is kept awake with Coca at any time. Check device battery, thermals, charging state, deep control, lapsed time and more from your iPhone, while your Mac is working. All using local connectivity, absolute private and no third party involved. Get notified if your MacBook is running out of battery or whether it went to sleep while your work was running!

Coca is commonly used to override macOS energy saving settings and keep your Mac running during presentations, long downloads, backups and many more such scenarios. A brand new addition to such workflows is the use of AI agents with a closed MacBook. Coca on macOS can allow your MacBook to keep running while it has the lid closed, no power cable or external monitor needed. Just one checkbox in Coca settings and it keeps running with closed lid. Together with the iOS app a perfect combination to stay in control of your setup with maximum flexibility.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2026-07-09*

It doesn’t keep my system awake at all. Guess I need to dl Meth.

**Developer response:** Hello Clancy, 

I'm very sorry for this, please get in touch so I can investigate this issue. As a solo developer doing this for free, it would help so much! 

Thank you,
Angelo

### 5/5 — Update fixed issues

*2026-05-29*

2.0.1 re-added custom icon support and fixed settings layout issues under Sequoia. Once again a 5-star app, small, fast, does just what I need and no more, thanks!

**Developer response:** Hey EdiPhone, 

It is great to have you back and I'm happy the custom icon is working. 

Thank you for using Coca!

### 5/5 — <3

*2025-07-28*

I have it on my iMac and my MacBook. I literally love it, easy to use and I use it when I need it. I don’t even leave reviews… for anything but when I saw the reviews were so scarce, I HAD TO FIND OUT HOW TO LEAVE A REVIEW. Yall, it works, just click download.

**Developer response:** Thank you so much for taking the time to review, it means a lot for an independently developed app.

### 5/5 — It just works

*2024-07-09*

What a novel approach, it works, as advertised, no bugs, intuitive. Sort of reminds me of what Apple software used to be like. 

I frequently run in closed clamshell mode and to to run long processes in this mode. I activate Coca indefinately when the Mac is powered. Flawless. Also avoids improperly ejected disks for those who haven't discovered Jettison.

### 5/5 — Big Help!

*2024-01-13*

If you have to have apps run in the background while you're away from your computer, this is an excellent solution!

### 3/5 — Nice app with opaque pricing and skeevy contact options

*2023-12-12*

Hi:  I like this app and have used it for months with no issues.  It does exactly what it is supposed to do and does it well.  I saw that I could add features by making an in-app purchase and like to support developers who make software that I use.  I clicked through the buying procedure expecting at some point to be told a price, but never was.  Toward the end there was a dialog that said I could unlock the features for "free".  With some trepidation I clicked through and, still with no disclosure of a price, was charged $15.49.  I'm reluctant to attribute this to sleaziness and did want to support the developers, so I'm OK with it.  But, be warned that if you exercise the in-app purchase option, that's what will happen.  I would have preferred to contact the developers directly to discuss this, but I have not found any contact information associated with the app except addresses that are defunct or flagged as insecure by my browser.  I get that this is an old app, maybe it is no longer supported, but the overall customer experience is not good.  That said, I will keep using it because, after all, it works and I've paid for it.

**Developer response:** Hey dmrosephd,

I know it is a long time since your review but maybe you want to give Coca another chance. The pricing should be much clearer now (everything is free) and you can optionally tip a coffee for me. The contact options and website are up to date! If anything is sketchy or opaque please get in touch.

Cheers,
Angelo

### 1/5 — Pricing is a Mystery

*2023-08-09*

I installed the free version per CalDigit Tech Support's recommendation to keep my monitor awake for my 2021 Macbook Pro (M1 Pro). I can't tell yet if I like the program, but I can't find out how much it costs to upgrade for the extras. When I click on "buy" it prompts for purchase, but I dont know what the price is. Can't find website or any documentation that states. I'm assuming is nominal, but who wants to blindly purchase something?

Happy to change review if can resolve pricing.

**Developer response:** Hey Greyt Guy,

Coca is updated and pricing should be more clear now. It is completely free and has no paywalls, you can optionally donate me a coffee if you want. 

I hope you can give Coca v2 another chance and thank you!

Cheers,
Angelo

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work with El Capitan

*2020-01-20*

Installed app. Set for 5 min (min), System Preferences set for 1 min (min). Hoping Coca would overwrite the System Preferences setting as I like the icon at the top for quick access. Screen shut down in 1 (one) minute. Uninstalled software. Bummer

**Developer response:** Hey iMacMan1,

I'm deeply sorry to have let you down on El Capitan. 

We introduced an El Capitan update with v1.2.5, for these issues. These days we also offer v2 for macOS Tahoe and onwards, we hope if you ever give Coca another chance, we can convince you. 

Cheers, Angelo

### 2/5 — needs an update

*2019-02-05*

Colors messed up on preferences pane. Some text is not legible at all. I have dark mode enabled so that may have something to do with it.

**Developer response:** Hello ArizonaRedSand,

Thank you for your review, would you like to try if this is fixed in the new v2? Thank you and enjoy your day!

Cheers,
Angelo

### 5/5 — An improvement over Caffeine!

*2016-11-03*

I was VERY hesitant to switch over from Caffeine to Coca.  It was lightweight and dependable, except for a few quirks that didn’t impact my use case.  Recently, I discovered a new batch of caffeine-like programs that have been updated for the modern macOS, unlike Caffeine.  I tried Amphetamine a few months ago but discovered that it consumes more background CPU, so it was quickly uninstalled.  

Coca, on the other hand, offers the same functionality as Caffeine with lighter resource usage in an updated package.  After using and monitoring the app for a few minutes, I quickly purchased the in-app extra to support the developer.  This is the perfect Caffeine replacement.
