Mac, or Mac + display

Keep your Mac
wide awake.
Awaken lives in your menu bar and keeps your Mac from sleeping while downloads, builds and renders finish — for fifteen minutes, eight hours, or until you say stop.

Features
Small app.
Does one thing well.
A timer — or no timer
From 15 minutes to 8 hours, or until you stop it. Add time without starting over. When it ends, normal sleep comes back by itself.
See what your Mac is doing
CPU, memory, battery, disk and network — live, in a calm native dashboard.
Lives in the menu bar
No Dock icon, no windows in your way. Turn on Launch at login and forget it's there.
Private by design
No account. No tracking. Your files, apps and work never leave your Mac.
Native, light, honest
Built in SwiftUI on macOS's own power assertions — the same mechanism that keeps your screen on during a video. Quit Awaken and everything goes back to normal.

Reviews
Early testers
sleep better.
I start a render, pick four hours and walk away. That's the whole app — and that's why I love it.
Finally something that sits quietly in the menu bar and doesn't ask me to make an account.
Overnight training runs used to die at 2 a.m. when the Mac fell asleep. Not anymore.
“Mac only, display may sleep” is exactly the mode I wanted for big downloads.
Cleaner than every “caffeine” app I've tried. Feels like it shipped with macOS.
Two coffees, once. No subscription. Easiest yes this year.

FAQ
Good questions.
Does it keep my MacBook awake with the lid closed?
Awaken stops idle sleep. Closing a MacBook lid still puts it to sleep unless it's in clamshell mode — connected to power, an external display and a keyboard. That's a macOS rule, and we'd rather be honest about it.
Will it drain my battery?
Awaken itself uses almost nothing. An awake Mac uses more power than a sleeping one, so on battery pick a timer — when it ends, normal sleep returns on its own.
What happens if I quit Awaken?
The session ends right away and your Mac goes back to its usual sleep settings. Nothing is changed in System Settings and nothing is left behind.
Does Awaken collect my data?
No. There's no account and no analytics. System stats are read on your Mac and stay on your Mac.
Which Macs does it run on?
Any Mac running macOS 14 Sonoma or later.
Is it a subscription?
No. You pay 2 999 ₸ once and it's yours.
When can I download it?
Soon. The Download button on this page turns on the day Awaken ships.
