macOS sleep is unreliable if you use a trackpad or a high-sensitivity mouse.
After clicking Sleep, tiny input drift often cancels the action. The system wakes itself immediately, forcing you to retry, stop moving your hands, or wait awkwardly.
- Forces macOS to sleep immediately using the system power manager
- won't be canceled by accidental mouse or trackpad movement
- Requires no Terminal usage after setup
on run
do shell script "/usr/bin/sudo /usr/bin/pmset sleepnow"
end run
Save this in Script Editor as:
- File Format: Application
- Name: SleepNow
People who:
- Are tired of macOS canceling sleep
- Use sensitive mice or trackpads
Do whatever you want with this.
