A macOS menu bar app that keeps AI agents and local models working while a MacBook is closed, then returns the Mac to sleep when work is done.

Landing page captured for the 2026-09-26 issue.

For: MacBook users running long AI-agent jobs
Worth noticing: Auto mode uses hooks for Claude Code and Codex, GPU activity for local models, and process activity for Gemini CLI.

Field notes

The page distinguishes activity-detection methods by workload: hooks for Claude Code and Codex, GPU usage for local models, and process activity for Gemini CLI. Its controls include a manual timer, a hard time cap, and an option to extend work remotely; the page identifies remote controls and fan settings as Pro features. It also describes safeguards for battery level and heat, including restoring power settings if the app is force-quit.
