Energy use for Caffeine is higher than I'd expect, with Activity Monitor reporting an energy impact of 2 or more with Caffeine at idle, when other background app are typically under less than 0.5, even Electron apps like Discord.

I think this might be a non-trivial use of energy considering what caffein does.

Thanks!

If I close the macbook pro lid, the screen flashes on my external monitor and then about 15 seconds later, the monitor goes off.

What is the app so chatty to analytics.intelliscapesolutions.com? What information is being sent?

Hover Text is an accessibility feature, first introduced in Catalina, which allows the user to see information about the item their cursor is hovering over in very large text, as an aid to the visually impaired.

When Hover Text is turned on (System Preferences —> Accessibility —> Zoom —> Enable Hover Text) and activated, and the user hovers their cursor over a menu item, they will typically see displayed in large text the name of that menu item and its current status. This can be very helpful for the visually impaired, who may not be able to see/read small icons and text, but who still needs to use a computer.

When hovering over Caffeine 1.1.3, Hover Text simply says “Menu Extra.” It would be very helpful if, instead, it is said “Caffeine” and stated which settings were active, if any.
