What changed

  • A background update now arrives as a system notification with Download and Skip
    this version
    , instead of a modal dialog thrown over whatever you were doing. A check
    you start from the menu still answers in a window — you are waiting for that one.
  • Turning the mode on at launch no longer means a password dialog at every login. Without
    the sudo rule it comes up in partial mode instead, and ticking the checkbox now explains
    that and offers to set the rule up.
  • State is re-read every 30 seconds rather than every 5, plus on wake and whenever the menu
    opens. macOS publishes no notification for this setting — the general IOKit interest
    notification on IOPMrootDomain does not fire for it and IOPMLib exposes nothing public —
    so polling stays, just far less of it.
  • The sources are split by responsibility instead of living in one file, and all code,
    comments and script output are English.

Menu bar toggle that stops your MacBook from sleeping — lid closed included.

Install

Download the .pkg and open it. The installer puts the app in Applications,
launches it, and optionally adds a sudo rule so toggling never asks for a
password.

The app is not signed with an Apple certificate. macOS blocks the first
open: right-click the file → OpenOpen again. One-time.

The .zip is the same app without the installer, if you prefer to place it by hand.

Usage

Left click the icon to toggle, right click for the menu. Moon — normal mode,
coffee cup — sleep blocked, triangle — partially on (the lid still sleeps).

macOS 13 or newer. Universal — Apple Silicon and Intel. English and Russian.


Установка

Скачайте .pkg и откройте его. Установщик положит приложение в «Программы»,
запустит его и (по желанию) добавит правило sudo, чтобы режим переключался
без ввода пароля.

Приложение не подписано сертификатом Apple. При первом запуске macOS
откажется открывать пакет. Правой кнопкой по файлу → «Открыть»
в диалоге ещё раз «Открыть». Один раз.

Файл .zip — то же приложение без установщика.

Управление

Левый клик по иконке — включить или выключить, правый — меню. Луна — обычный
режим, чашка — сон запрещён, треугольник — включён частично (крышка усыпит).

Требуется macOS 13 или новее. Universal — Apple Silicon и Intel. Русский и английский.
