Don't Sleep!

Don't Sleep! is a handy little app that lives right in your Mac's status bar. It helps you keep your Mac awake for as long as you need without fiddling around in the System Preferences. How cool is that?

Easy Access to Features

This app makes it super easy to use its features. Just click on the status bar menu, and you'll find everything you need at your fingertips! You can choose predefined time periods like forever, 4 hours, 2 hours, 1 hour, or even just 30, 15, or 5 minutes. All you have to do is pick the time frame you want and hit “Don't Sleep!” It’s as simple as that!

Stay Active with Timers

Once you activate it, Don't Sleep! will start a timer right away. You can easily check how long your Mac will stay awake by glancing at the status bar menu. Plus, if the app is running, you'll see a red circle crossed over the icon—no guesswork needed!

Preserve Energy While Staying Awake

It’s smart to use OS X's energy saver settings too! This way, you can save battery life on your portable Mac or cut down on power use for desktop machines. But sometimes you've got tasks that require your Mac to stay awake until they’re done—this is where Don't Sleep! really shines.

No More Worrying About Settings

This tiny but mighty tool lets you manage when your Mac goes to sleep without diving into System Preferences every time. The best part? You can set it for just the amount of time you need! After the period ends, Don't Sleep! automatically turns off and goes back to normal settings.

Your Task Completion Buddy

This means you won’t have to stress about changing things back when you're done keeping your Mac active. It’s all taken care of for you!
