Keep Mac Awake

Keep Mac Awake, opens the developer's site in a new tab Close the lid, not the work. Your MacBook keeps working with the lid closed, and you steer your agents from your phone.

Keep Mac Awake keeps a MacBook with Apple silicon awake with the lid closed, with no external display, for a session you start from the menu bar: no limit, 1 hour, 8 hours or a custom length. For long builds, downloads and AI coding agents that should keep working while the MacBook is closed. AC power by default, battery optional down to a floor you pick; a watchdog restores normal sleep if a service stops. Includes a JSON command for scripts and agents. macOS 26 or later.
