Comments and Reviews
KeepingYouAwake: FOSS
Amphetamine: free (open-source?). Feature-rich, making it the best of all.
Theine: $4
Caffeinated: $4. Both are fancy version of KYA.
Lungo: $3. The worst of all, but has animated icon.
I like KYA because it's FOSS, does exactly what it is intended to do (no more, no less), and the interface is intuitive and easy to use.
