Field notes
The page documents both menu-bar controls and a command-line interface, including separate holds for concurrent work. Its examples cover timed holds, commands, and a full-stop action that pauses automation; battery and Low Power Mode guards can also end a hold. The listed beta requirements are macOS 26 or later and Apple Silicon. Automatic hook setup for agent workflows is identified as planned rather than available.
