What does it do?
Keep Mac Awake runs from the menu bar and as a command-line tool, holding off sleep for exactly as long as you choose, even with the lid closed and no external display. When the time is up or the job finishes, normal sleep comes back on its own.
Who is it for?
Developers running overnight AI coding agents, test suites or release builds, and anyone with a big download, backup or render that should finish without them sitting at the desk.
When would you use it?
- Overnight refactor: Start an eight-hour session, close the lid and steer the agent from your phone through its own remote control.
- Release build: Keep a long test suite and build running on your closed laptop while you head out to lunch.
- Large backup on battery: Allow battery use with a 20 percent floor so the session ends before your Mac runs dangerously low.
Why pay for it?
AI agents such as Claude Code, Codex and Gemini CLI can start and stop sessions themselves through simple commands. A separate watchdog restores sleep if the app or its service ever hangs, battery sessions end at a battery floor or a serious thermal state, and there is no account, analytics or logging.
What should you know?
- Free for three days without a card, then $9 once per Mac.
- Works only on Apple silicon Macs running macOS 26 or later, and sessions use AC power unless you allow battery.
