Stay awake while your AI works
Only for Mac

Mac
The cat that keeps your Mac awake while your AI agent works — and notifies you the moment it's done. Also the cutest caffeine replacement for everyone else.
Meet AgentCat — the adorable menu bar cat that keeps your Mac awake. Built for the AI era: your Mac stays awake exactly while your AI agent works, then rests when the job is done — and you get notified the moment your agent finishes or needs you.
MADE FOR AI AGENT USERS
Long Cursor, Claude Code, or Codex task? Don't let your Mac doze off mid-run — and don't keep it awake all night either.
• Auto-awake: your agent tells AgentCat when a task starts, and your Mac stays awake exactly as long as needed
• Done notifications: get pinged the moment a task finishes, even from across the room
• Needs-attention alerts: know right away when your agent is waiting for your input
• One-click Cursor setup: AgentCat configures Cursor's hooks.json for you
• Works with everything: simple commands like open -g "agentcat://activate" and "agentcat://done" fit any tool that can run a shell command
• Stall protection: if a task never reports back, your Mac is allowed to sleep after a timeout you choose
SIMPLE AND DELIGHTFUL FOR EVERYONE
• A sleepy cat sits in your menu bar; left-click it and the cat puts on sunglasses — your Mac is now awake
• Right-click for options: 5 minutes to 5 hours, until a specific time, or indefinitely
• Pick your cat's awake style: cool sunglasses or a friendly wink
• Keep apps active — prevents apps from going idle and stops the screen saver
• Prefers to stay out of your way: can run Dock-free as a pure menu bar app
THOUGHTFUL BY DESIGN
• Activate automatically at launch, or deactivate when you manually put your Mac to sleep
• Notifications only with your permission — each alert type can be toggled individually
• Lightweight, native SwiftUI, fully sandboxed
AVAILABLE IN 12 LANGUAGES
English, Spanish, German, French, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Dutch, Portuguese, Brazilian Portuguese, Russian, Ukrainian, and Simplified Chinese.
AgentCat is the modern successor of Catfeine — the classic Caffeine utility reimagined, now with a superpower for the AI era.
- This app hasn’t received enough ratings or reviews to display an overview.
• AgentCat no longer flashes its Dock icon when an agent hook wakes it up — it now runs as a true menu bar app, appearing in the Dock and Cmd+Tab only while a window is open
• Agent notifications now have a "Don't show again" button to mute that notification type right from the banner
