- MacBook users running long jobs with the lid closed
- Worth noticing
- The page says a safety net restores normal sleep within two minutes if Owl Mode crashes or is force-quit.
Field notes
The page lays out three ways to keep a session running: a menu-bar control, a keyboard shortcut, or a timer, with a separate automatic mode described for four named coding agents. It also specifies a battery floor adjustable from 10% to 50%, a heat response, and a two-minute safety net if the app crashes or is force-quit. These are the site's descriptions of the product; the supplied homepage evidence does not independently test them.
