A minimalist macOS keep-awake app that also prevents the screen saver and lock screen, with first-class automation for scripts and AI agents.

Highlights

  • Keeps the Mac awake and the display unlocked for a chosen duration or until stopped
  • A soft matcha wash fills the main window while a session is active
  • Typed durations (8, 2.5h, 1d, 2h 30m), presets, and a resizable floating indicator
  • One-command install and update, with checksum verification and automatic agent setup
  • Check for Updates… in the app menu
  • Friendly uninstall script that also removes agent instructions
  • Optional live countdown (or infinity) beside the menu bar icon
  • Global hotkeys: Ctrl-Opt-Cmd-M toggles, Ctrl-Opt-Cmd-1 starts one hour
  • Five-minute ending warning with Add 1 Hour / Stop; auto-extends 30 minutes while a build is still running
  • Auto-keep-awake for real build/encode tools, plus a low battery guard
  • Sessions survive crashes and force-quits; an intentional Quit ends them
  • CLI, matcha:// URL scheme, and a status plist for agents
  • Agent kit auto-configures Claude Code, opencode, Codex CLI, Gemini CLI, and Windsurf; project rules for Cursor and Aider
  • No accounts, analytics, or telemetry

Install and uninstall instructions live in the README.
