Melatonin 0.1.6

• Auto mode picks up again after a safety stop. If low battery or heat paused it while an agent was working, it now comes back on by itself once you plug in, lower the battery limit or your Mac cools down. Before, it stayed off until the agent finished.
• The menu says what it's waiting for: "resumes when you plug in" or "resumes once it cools down".

Melatonin 0.1.5 updates to this version by itself. Signed with a Developer ID and notarized by Apple.

Melatonin 0.1.5

• Updates itself. Melatonin now checks for new versions with Sparkle and shows a small badge in the menu when one is ready, or choose ⋯ › Check for Updates…. This is the last DMG you'll need to download.
• Sharper agent detection. Melatonin reads Claude Code and Codex session logs, so long model replies, quiet commands and background subagents count as work, and it knows when a turn is really over. Agents waiting on a question for you don't keep the Mac up.

Melatonin 0.1.4

Signed and notarized. Melatonin now opens like any other app: no "unidentified developer" warning, no xattr step.

New

• Moon · Auto · Lamp. One three-way switch under the lamp: Off lets your Mac sleep, Auto keeps it awake only while agents work, On keeps it awake until the timer ends and then goes back to where you were.
• While you were away. Come back to a summary in the notch: how long it stayed awake, which agents worked and for how long, Wi-Fi drops it recovered from, and the battery it used.
• Stay online, your order. Pick a priority list from your saved networks; when the internet drops, Melatonin joins the first one in range. Needs Location access (macOS only shows Wi-Fi names to apps that have it) and your OK once to use the passwords macOS already saved. If none works, it restarts Wi-Fi as before.

Fixed

• A keychain prompt nobody can see (lid closed) no longer stalls reconnecting.

Updating

Because the signature changed, macOS asks once more for Location access, and may ask for your login keychain password the first time a saved Wi-Fi password is used. After this, updates keep both.

Melatonin 0.1.3

Download

• Melatonin.dmg
• Homebrew: brew upgrade --cask melatonin
• The helper is updated in this release, so macOS asks for your password once.

What's new

• Stay online now actually reconnects. Newer macOS hides Wi-Fi names from apps without Location access, so joining a network by name never worked. Melatonin now restarts Wi-Fi after about 20 seconds offline, and macOS rejoins the best saved network in range, such as your phone's hotspot. Test now shows it working.
• Hotspot tips: save the hotspot once, turn on "Automatically join this network", and on Android turn off auto-off when no devices are connected.
• No more napping: macOS no longer throttles Melatonin while it keeps your Mac awake with the lid closed.
• Activity log: open it from ⋯ › Show activity log to see what happened while you were away.
• Crash fix: the panel window no longer crashes while the lamp animates.
• Menu bar icon hidden behind the notch? Open Melatonin again (Spotlight works) or click the gear in the expanded notch to get the full panel in a window.

한국어

• 연결 유지가 실제로 다시 연결돼요. 최신 macOS는 위치 권한이 없는 앱에 Wi-Fi 이름을 숨겨서, 이름으로 연결하는 방식은 동작하지 않았어요. 이제 인터넷이 20초쯤 끊기면 Wi-Fi를 다시 켜서 macOS가 범위 안의 저장된 네트워크(휴대폰 핫스팟 등)에 다시 붙게 해요.
• App Nap 차단, 활동 기록(⋯ › 활동 기록 보기), 창 크래시 수정
• 메뉴바 아이콘이 노치에 가려지면 Melatonin을 다시 실행하거나 노치의 ⚙︎를 눌러 창으로 열 수 있어요.

Melatonin 0.1.2

Download

• Melatonin.dmg
• Homebrew: brew upgrade --cask melatonin

What's new

• Hermes and Codex are detected reliably. Both spend most of a task waiting on the model, so CPU alone missed them. Melatonin now also reads their own activity logs.
• Every working agent is shown, for example "Claude Code and Hermes working".
• Auto mode explains itself. It's now called "Auto-on while agents work". Its status line says what it's doing, and the ⓘ button shows how it works: agent starts → awake → done + 3 min → sleep resumed.
• An Auto badge appears while auto mode is keeping your Mac awake, and the notch confirms when you switch it on.

한국어

• Hermes·Codex 감지 개선: 모델 응답을 기다리는 동안 CPU를 거의 안 써서 놓치던 문제를, 각자의 작업 로그를 함께 읽는 방식으로 해결했어요.
• 작업 중인 에이전트를 모두 표시: "Claude Code 및 Hermes 작업 중"처럼 보여요.
• 자동 모드 설명 강화: 이름을 "에이전트가 일하면 자동 켜기"로 바꿨어요. 상태 설명이 바뀌고, ⓘ 버튼에서 동작 흐름과 켰을 때·껐을 때 차이를 볼 수 있어요.

Melatonin 0.1.0

Close the lid. Keep the agents running. Melatonin keeps your MacBook awake with the lid closed — on battery, no external display — while Claude Code, Codex and friends finish their work.

Download

• Melatonin.dmg: open it and drag Melatonin to Applications
• Homebrew: brew install --cask jugol/tap/melatonin
• Universal binary (Apple silicon and Intel), macOS 14 Sonoma or later

First launch: this build isn't notarized by Apple yet, so macOS stops the first launch. Open System Settings › Privacy & Security and click Open Anyway, or run xattr -dr com.apple.quarantine /Applications/Melatonin.app.

What's in 0.1.0

• Lid-closed keep-awake through a tiny privileged helper (pmset disablesleep), with one password prompt the first time
• Lives in your notch: a glowing lamp and countdown while awake, hover to expand. On displays without a notch it hangs from the menu bar.
• Menu bar switch with 1, 2, 4 and 8 hour timers, or until you turn it off
• Auto for AI agents: stays awake only while Claude Code, Codex, Hermes, OpenCode, T3 Code, Gemini CLI, Cursor Agent, Amp, Goose or Crush is actually working
• Stay online: pick backup networks from your saved Wi-Fi, set their priority, mark your phone's hotspot. If the internet drops while awake, Melatonin joins the next one.
• Safety: battery floor, heat guard, and normal sleep restored automatically if the app quits, crashes or is killed, or the helper is stopped
• 12 languages: English, 한국어, 简体中文, 日本語, Español, Français, Deutsch, Português (Brasil), Русский, العربية, हिन्दी, Bahasa Indonesia
