v0.7 — "Until I close the lid"

New sleep-prevention option: Until I close the lid. Pick it from the menu, get on with your work, and the moment you close the lid the app stops caffeinating and lets the system sleep normally — no timer to guess at, no manual deactivation.

How it works

A new sister library, caseymrm/go-clamshell, subscribes to IOKit's kIOPMMessageClamshellStateChange push notification (no polling — the kernel tells us the moment the lid moves). When the state flips to closed and you're in lid mode, whyawake calls caffeinate.Stop() and the deferred sleep proceeds.

Other

  • Picks up go-clamshell v1.0.1.
  • Closes #1.
