Editorial interest 79/100 Selection signal · not a rating of the site

A menu-bar app for Apple Silicon Macs that keeps AI work running while a MacBook lid is closed, then can return the computer to sleep when work ends.

Landing page captured for the 2026-09-28 issue.

For: MacBook users running long AI-agent tasks
Worth noticing: Claude Code and Codex use hooks; other listed runtimes are detected by process activity, which the page labels as an estimate.

Field notes

The app offers automatic, timed, and scheduled wake modes, plus settings for lid behavior, charging limits, and fan control on supported Macs. Its page distinguishes hook-based detection for Claude Code and Codex from estimated process-activity detection for tools such as Gemini CLI, Aider, Ollama, and LM Studio. The listed Pro price is an upcoming one-time charge, not a currently available purchase.
