Description

Keeps your Mac awake for specific or indeterminate amount of time with option to also disable the screen saver.

NoSleep is an application that you use to prevent your Mac from going to sleep.

In 'no sleep' mode there is an option to also disable the screen saver.

Note:

1) The purpose of NoSleep is to keep the Mac awake so you can read the screen while not otherwise actively using the Mac.

2) It is not a menubar app. It is a regular app that appears in the Dock.

3) Will not prevent a laptop from going to sleep if the cover is closed to prevent overheating issues.

Visit our website for other information and a demo.

This app was conceived for musicians who use their Macs to read music as they play their instrument and consequently do not want their Mac to go to sleep.

What can NoSleep do for me?

It keeps your Mac awake for a given period of time. NoSleep updates system activity periodically as soon as it launches, until it is quit, or, for laptops, the battery charge level drops below a specified amount (which defaults to 10%)

As soon as you launch NoSleep it prevents your Mac from sleeping until quit, or the battery charge level drops below a specified amount . You can schedule the time it quits so that you can leave it unattended. Do this in Preferences.

Preferences Window:

Use the Preference pane to specify quit time.

Also use the text field on the preferences window for creating a timer to quit the app at a time you can specify as a (fractional) number of minutes. The timer is created as soon as editing stops in the text field, say by tabbing out of it, and each edit resets the timer. If the value of the text field is zero no such timer is created, and any previous such timer will be removed.

Finally, in preferences you can specify a battery threshold so that NoSleep stops keeping the Mac awake at a certain level. This helps prevent the Mac from running out of energy when unplugged.

Great for keeping music going.

I love the fact that everything associated with this App. is written in perfect English. So refreshing. 🤗

Runs well on MacBook Pro.
This instantly improved my music playlist experiences.
I used it to keep 'Prime Music' from stalling every 30 minutes during a longer playlist.
However, since I got rid of Prime Music altogether, I try to use this app. as a "sleep-timer," when I fall asleep to long-play podcasts.
I don't think I fully understand how to integrate my MacBook settings with the "No Sleep" App. features, to be able to make it work perfectly as a shutdown 'sleep-timer,' but hey, it is called "No Sleep," so that's on me.

Cool App, but can we loose the cp on every launch?

I really use this app. Its so simple and unintrusive. I use it for DJ-ing, since I have a controller and I want to keep my mac from going to sleep when I mix. But often I launch the app once I have the mix already going and that control panel pops up instantly and is very annoying. Could you please hide it next time?
