Thanks for the hint.
Can caffeinate be run such that it prevents ONLY the screensaver from kicking
in,
but does NOT prevent the system from sleeping?
(I could not find that option in the man page.)
Best regards, Gabriel

One way to do this is with the command line tool:
caffeinate
You could run a background task that starts it with something like
caffeinate -dimsu
You can probably also find its source code on opensource.apple.com to
understand what it does and how.
Like here is a version:
https://opensource.a
In the “old days”, your app could periodically call UpdateSystemActivity(
UsrActivity ) to prevent the screensaver kicking in. This has been deprecated
since 10.8, but the header for that function says it can be replaced by
IOPMAssertionCreateWithName(). I haven’t looked at that in detail or use
