A macOS menu bar app that keeps your agents AI awake even if with lid closed. No more keeping your laptop half-open or carrying it around in weird ways. Stop this madness π ββοΈ, close the lid.
I've done the "prop the lid open a centimeter with a folded sticky note" move more times than I'd like to admit, so this solves a real problem. curious how this is different from just running caffeinate in a loop or using something like Amphetamine though, is the "control the sleep behaviour" part doing something smarter than just preventing sleep, like actually distinguishing which processes count as an active agent vs idle background stuff

Hi product hunt, thanks everyone for the support.
I built Agents Never Sleep to help me control the sleep behaviour on my Mac without getting lost in settings or needing a terminal.
Made a cute little friend in the menu bar as a bonus!
Glad to see i'm not the only one looking for this :)
