LidGuard v1.1.0

LidGuard v1.1.0 makes lid-closed sessions easier to use for unattended coding tasks and remote access.

What’s new

• Optional Prevent Automatic Lock switch for active LidGuard sessions.
• Automatic-lock protection is restored after helper restarts and released when the session stops, expires, hits the battery or thermal safeguard, or is externally overridden.
• Live protection status in the menu bar app.
• CLI support through --prevent-auto-lock and --allow-auto-lock.
• 22 policy, recovery, timer, battery, thermal, and compatibility tests passing.

Install

1. Download LidGuard-1.1.0-arm64.dmg.
2. Drag LidGuard into Applications.
3. On first launch, if macOS blocks the ad-hoc signed build, use System Settings → Privacy & Security → Open Anyway.
4. Install or reauthorize the helper once when prompted.

Supports Apple Silicon Macs running macOS 13 or later. User-initiated locking and organization-managed security policies are not bypassed.

LidGuard v1.0.0 Preview 1

First installable preview of LidGuard for Apple Silicon Macs running macOS 13 or later.

Highlights:

• Keep the Mac running with the lid closed for Codex tasks and remote access
• Restore normal lid sleep manually or through timer, low-battery, and thermal safeguards
• Menu bar app and lidguard CLI
• One-time helper installation; routine mode switching does not require an administrator password

Installation:

1. Download the DMG and drag LidGuard into Applications.
2. Try to open LidGuard. macOS may block it because this preview uses an ad-hoc signature.
3. Open System Settings → Privacy & Security, scroll to Security, click Open Anyway, authenticate, and confirm Open.
4. In LidGuard, click Install Helper and approve the one-time administrator prompt.
