- The heat cut-off is always on; the battery threshold and run time are configurable.
Field notes
The page names three job types—AI-agent sessions, builds and tests, and downloads and renders—and ties each to the risk of a Mac sleeping mid-task. Users can choose among four battery floors or disable that limit, while the heat cut-off remains on. The app also offers one-, two-, and four-hour limits, or an until-manually-stopped option; the page says it can signal when it stops.
