lidhold keeps a closed Mac working until the job is done

Editorial interest 84/100 Selection signal · not a rating of the site

A macOS utility that keeps a MacBook awake while an agent, test suite, deploy, or other command runs, then lets it sleep again.

Landing page captured for the 2026-09-15 issue.

Field notes

The utility models active work as a lease rather than leaving a permanent sleep override enabled. Agent hooks refresh that lease on tool calls, while `lidhold run` passes through the wrapped command’s output, exit code, and Ctrl-C behavior. The page shows a 20% battery floor, thermal and heavy-work ceilings, and a diagnostic command that reports whether the selected engine should survive a closed lid on the user’s machine.
