Stay Active

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.

Free to try for 14 days, then a one-time purchase in the Mac App Store. No subscription.
