About Keep Awake
Menu bar toggle that prevents display sleep while you present, download large files, or stay on a video call. Lightweight native utility with zero analytics.
Overview
macOS sleeps the display when you step away—sometimes at the worst moment. Keep Awake adds a single menu bar toggle that blocks display sleep until you turn it off, using a lightweight native power assertion.
Key features
Instant keep-awake toggle
Enable from the menu bar before a presentation, large download, or video call. Disable when finished—no restart required.
Display sleep only
Uses a standard macOS assertion to prevent the display from sleeping. Your workflow stays uninterrupted without hunting System Settings.
Perfect for long transfers
Large file copies, Time Machine backups, and cloud syncs can run without the screen sleeping and pausing background work.
