bAwake 1.2.0

Connect your AI agents

• New in the Agents tab: Connect Claude Code. Claude Code tells bAwake, through its hooks, when it starts working, finishes or needs you.
• Your Mac stays awake while the agent works and can sleep as soon as it is done.
• Notifications when a long task finishes or when the agent is waiting for your approval.
• New statuses: "Needs you" and "Idle".

bAwake 1.1.7

One set of options

• The switches in the Now tab (display, disk, system, user activity, lid closed) now apply whenever bAwake keeps your Mac awake: manual session, AI agents and builds, or rules. What you turn off stays off.
• The Agents tab no longer has its own options.

bAwake 1.1.6

Fix

• While AI agents and builds run, bAwake now only keeps the system awake unless you turn on more in the Agents tab. Before, the agent session could keep the display on even with "Keep display on" turned off in the Now tab.
• The Now tab always says when agents are keeping your Mac awake, also during a manual session, and what they keep on.

bAwake 1.1.4

Fix

• The menu bar panel now shrinks with its content. Turning off agent detection used to leave empty space around the panel.
• With agent detection off, the Agents tab shows only the switch.

bAwake 1.1.3

Clearer agent sessions

• The Agents tab has its own switches for what stays on while AI agents and builds run (display, disk, system, user activity), separate from the manual session.
• When agents are what keeps your Mac awake, the Now tab says so and names them, with a shortcut to their options.
• The Now tab's switches are now clearly labeled as the manual session.

bAwake 1.1.2

Fix

• The options in the Now tab (keep display on, disk, system, user activity) now also apply while bAwake keeps your Mac awake for AI agents and builds. Before, "Keep display on" only worked in manual sessions, so the screen saver could start while an agent was running.

bAwake 1.1.0

New: Shortcuts and Siri

• Keep Mac Awake: start a session for 15 minutes, 1 hour, 4 hours or until you turn it off.
• Let Mac Sleep: end the session.
• Get bAwake Status: says what is keeping your Mac awake and returns true or false, so your shortcuts can decide what to do.

Use them in the Shortcuts app, from Spotlight, with the Action button, or just ask Siri: "Keep my Mac awake with bAwake", "bAwake status". Actions and Siri phrases are available in all 38 languages.
