Field notes
Controls shown on the page include a 1-, 2-, 4-, or 8-hour stay-awake timer, an “until I turn it off” option, and a 20% battery floor. The app also describes sleeping the Mac if battery temperature exceeds 45°C or macOS reports overheating. For agent automation, it supplies a `nuitblanche` command for on, status, and off; the page explicitly says the agent must report when its task is done, with the timer as backup.
