Awake Control
Lightweight Sleep Prevention
Only for Mac
$0.99
Mac
The bare-minimum way to keep your Mac awake: indefinite, timed, scheduled or app-based, with exceptionally low CPU and memory overhead.
Awake Control is a lightweight menu bar utility that prevents idle sleep when work needs to continue. Awake Control is purpose-built to do one job with exceptionally low CPU and memory overhead.
Use it for downloads, file transfers, presentations, remote sessions, and other long-running tasks. Start indefinitely, choose a timer, keep the system awake while a selected app runs, or use a weekly schedule.
It is designed to stay quiet when inactive: no account, no ads, no tracking, no unnecessary permissions, and very low memory use while idle.
Features:
- One-click awake sessions
- Timers from 15 minutes to 8 hours
- Weekly schedule by day and time
- Keep awake while a selected app runs
- Allow the display to sleep while work continues
- Open at login
Awake Control uses standard macOS power assertions and releases them when a session ends or the app quits. It does not override manual sleep, shutdown, lid-close sleep, or low-battery protection.
