Allnighter – Keep Awake
Stay awake, dim the display
Only for Mac
Free · In‑App Purchases
Mac
Right-click the eye in the menu bar to start. Right-click again to stop.
Allnighter keeps your Mac awake, so downloads, builds, renders, uploads and long calls keep going while you step away — and it can turn the screen down to black while it works.
Pick how long to wait under Dim display after. When you haven't touched the mouse or keyboard for that long, Allnighter lowers the display brightness all the way. Move the mouse and it comes back to the brightness you chose.
Right-click the eye in the menu bar to start. Right-click again to stop. Or pick a time — 15 or 30 minutes, or 1, 2, 4 or 8 hours — and Allnighter stops on its own.
• Lives in the menu bar, no Dock icon
• Dims the display when you're away, brings it back when you return
• Right-click to start or stop in one move
• Timed sessions from 15 minutes to 8 hours
• A short sound when a session starts and ends, which you can turn off
• Launch at login
• No account, no tracking, no network access
Dimming works by pressing the brightness keys for you, so macOS asks you once to allow Allnighter in System Settings › Privacy & Security.
Allnighter is free and open source.
