## What it is
Amphetamine Enhancer is a helper application that extends the macOS keep-awake utility Amphetamine with features impossible for the sandboxed App Store version. It adds a fail-safe for closed-display mode and lets Triggers and app-based sessions use all running processes.

## Use cases
- prevent mac from sleeping with lid closed
- add fail-safe to closed-display mode
- use all running processes in amphetamine triggers
- extend sandboxed mac app store app capabilities
- keep mac awake during long downloads
- app-based sleep sessions for any process

## When to choose
- you use Amphetamine 5.0+ and need closed-display mode reliability
- you want triggers based on any running process, not just sandbox-visible apps
- you prefer open-source companion tools you can audit

## When to avoid
- you don't use Amphetamine
- you only need basic keep-awake features available in Amphetamine itself
- you need a tool for Linux or Windows
