Keep your Mac awake — for hours, or all night.
Left your Mac running an AI agent, a long build or a big download, only to come back to a sleeping Mac and a lock screen? Stay Active stops sleep, screen dimming and the screen saver until you turn it off, so the work keeps going while you're away.
It uses Apple's own power-management controls — never fake mouse or keyboard input — and needs no special permissions.
- All night if you need it: AI agents, bots, renders and downloads keep running until you switch it off.
- Timers from 30 minutes to 8 hours, with a countdown and the exact time it ends.
- Battery guard pauses while unplugged and turns off before your battery runs low.
- Menu bar control: turn it on or off and change the timer from the menu bar, or press a global shortcut from anywhere. The Dock icon shows the state and time left.
- Private: no account, no analytics, no data collected.
