Wakeful · for Mac

Your Mac stays awake when it matters.

An AI agent halfway through a task, a long build, a download, a presentation: they all stop when the Mac dozes off. Click the cup in the menu bar and Wakeful keeps it awake, for as long as you need, and lets it sleep again when the work is done.

Questions

Can I try it first?

The download is free, but Wakeful only keeps your Mac awake once it's activated. If it doesn't do what you need, write to us within 14 days and you get your money back. See the refund policy.

Which AI agents does it know?

Claude Code, Codex and Gemini out of the box, and any other command-line tool you add by name. Wakeful notices when one starts working and lets the Mac sleep once every agent is done.

Does it work with the lid closed?

Yes, while the Mac is connected to power. macOS only lets a Mac stay awake with the lid closed when it's plugged in.

Which Macs does it run on?

Any Mac with macOS 15 Sequoia or later, Apple silicon or Intel.

Is Wakeful on the Mac App Store?

Not yet. For now it's sold only directly from us: the download is free, the licence covers up to 5 Macs and the app updates itself.

Does it collect data about me?

No. There are no accounts, analytics or ads, and everything stays on your Mac. See the privacy notice.
