krishhgg / Insomnia
A macOS menu bar app that safely keeps your MacBook awake with the lid closed, for timed agent sessions.
Why this job: works in the areas we cover, but does not say which job it does
What it does
A macOS menu bar app for timed awake sessions. Insomnia is an eye icon that lives in your MacBook menu bar. It has no Dock icon and no main window. Set how long your Mac stays awake, choose what happens when the lid closes, and see when something could not be undone.
