Working… · idle sleep in 30 s

Try it: without Awake, close the lid or wait for idle sleep. Then turn on “Keep awake” with “With the lid closed” and close the lid: the agent finishes and the remote session stays.

How it works

Three steps. That’s it.

  1. 1

    Choose how long

    30 min, 1, 2, 4 or 8 hours, until a time, or unlimited.

  2. 2

    Press “Keep awake”

    A cup in the menu bar tells you it is on.

  3. 3

    Close the lid if you like

    Wait for “Ready: you can close the lid”.

Awake

Made for your everyday.

Built for AI agents

Codex, Claude Code, Cursor or your own scripts can take hours. If the Mac sleeps they stop halfway. With Awake they run to the end while you do something else.

Remote sessions

Connect to your Mac over SSH, Screen Sharing or from your phone and keep it on, even in your bag with the lid closed and the charger plugged in.

Safe

With the lid closed there is a 4-hour limit and it stops if it gets hot, if you unplug the charger (unless you allow battery) or if you quit Make Mac Better. Normal sleep is always restored.

Shortcuts

Faster with the keyboard.

Menubar→KeepawakeStart in one click
StopBack to normal sleep

With a Windows keyboard: Ctrl = ⌃, Alt = ⌥, Shift = ⇧, Windows = ⌘. All can be changed in the app.

Questions, answered.

Is it like caffeinate?

It uses the same macOS power assertions, with an interface and lid-closed mode.

Does it drain the battery?

As much as your task does. You can block battery use or set a minimum.

Does it need permissions?

Only lid-closed mode installs a small helper, once, that you approve in Settings.
