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
