My only existing issue is that for some reason, even though I have turned off putting the computer to sleep in my mac system preferences, and have run the caffenated item in my app events, when the app opens, as soon as the computer goes into screen saver mode, and the display gets shut off, the program seems to stop counting.
Ah, this dear App Nap strikes again, it seems…
Probably what you’re seeing is Apple’s behaviour of apps put in the background (which is what a screen saver does to other apps) being suspended (or slowed down) to preserve CPU/battery.
and:
I don’t know for sure, but I do know what causes App Nap is all the windows to the app been occluded / not currently visible. So while this is frustrating and not helpful, it kinda makes sense that if nothing is being sent to the screen, then the windows are not visible to the user and therefore the app goes into low power mode.
Pretty much sums up how I feel about almost everything at the moment.
and tell us whether that solves your issue.
