Sleep Expert 4+

look good but not work for my mac pro trash can

the app looks good, but not work for my situation

in mac's power setting, i disabled anything and enabled put hard disks to sleep when possible for my MAC Pro trashcan. also, i would kill any app that is marked as preventing sleep in activity monitor and make sure no process in in the sleep inspector, then i will use this app to sleep this mac. unfortunately no, it does not work. even after a few hours after hitting the sleep button that put the thunderbolt displays to sleep the trashcan is still emitting hot air throu the fan. tried everthing, but failed all the time.

This works for me!

I've used many similar products... too many to mention.

This one works for me, allowing my display to be turned off while preventing apps from closing, preventing me from returning to a login screen, as my Mac seems to do with every other app.

I've even tried those Terminal entries to no avail, because I installed an SSD.

So far, I've been using the free version, as soon as I get an M1 iMac, if it is needed, I will upgrade.

Thanks for the response

Real Sleep

Catalina broke sleep. I wakes all the time. This puts my Mac into a deep sleep and keeps it asleep. I have no idea if there are any ramifications for doing this though. So far, I haven't seen any.
