Keep awake now gives you a heads-up about the lid. While Keep awake is on, klipa tells you what will happen if you close the lid: - Stays awake - when an external display is connected (macOS clamshell mode) - Mac will sleep - when there's no external display - Connect power to stay awake - on Intel Macs running on battery No more closing the lid and wondering whether your work kept running.

klipa is a tiny, native menu bar app for macOS that does two things, quickly and out of your way: 1. Keeps a history of what you copy - text and images - so you can paste back anything from the last few hours with a single click. 2. Keeps your Mac awake on demand, Amphetamine-style, for a chosen duration or indefinitely. Click the menu bar icon and the most recent clipboard entries drop down. Click any one to copy it back to the clipboard, ready to paste. That is the whole interface. There is no main window, no preferences panel, no onboarding tour, no setup. It just works. Why you might like it - Truly native. Pure Rust, no Electron, no system WebView, no JavaScript runtime, no Chromium. The app is about 6 MB. It does not spin up a browser engine to draw a list. - Menu bar only. No dock icon, no main menu, no window. Hide the menu bar icon entirely if you want klipa to disappear and keep running quietly in the background. - Image thumbnails. Copy a screenshot and klipa shows it as a small preview in the dropdown so you can see what you are picking before pasting it. - Keep-awake sessions. Pick 5, 15, or 30 minutes, 1, 2, or 5 hours, or Indefinitely. Optionally allow the display to sleep while the system stays awake. End the session any time. - Menu bar display. Show the date, the current temperature at your location, or both next to the icon. Off by default. - Privacy by design. Your clipboard history is stored on this Mac, in your user data folder, in one local file. Nothing is ever logged, uploaded, synced, or sent over the network. klipa has no account, no cloud, no analytics, no ads, no tracking. What it does not do - It does not show a floating window or a HUD. - It does not require accessibility permissions. - It does not sync between devices. Sandboxed and safe klipa on the Mac App Store is fully sandboxed. It only reads and writes its own data folder, plus the system clipboard while it is running. It does not see the contents of other apps' windows. Open source klipa is MIT licensed. The source code lives at https://github.com/peterdsp/klipa - so you can read exactly what it does with your data (the answer is: nothing leaves your Mac). Requires macOS 11 (Big Sur) or later. Works natively on both Apple silicon and Intel.
