A Mac utility that keeps Claude Code, Codex, Aider, and other coding agents running through sleep, screen locking, and even a shut lid on battery.

Why it surfaced

UnIdle hooks into an agent's actual lifecycle events instead of guessing from CPU usage, then alerts you when the task finishes or needs permission. It also explains its local operation in unusually plain terms, including the narrowly scoped permission required for closed-lid battery use.
