See how it works ↓SESSIONS AND AUTOMATIC ACTIVATION FOR MACA presentation, a long task or an open app. Each situation calls for its own way to keep your Mac awake.
Eye closed: normal sleep. Eye open: KlikAwake active. Try clicking the eye below.
Demo: An open eye means an active session; a closed eye means normal sleep. Examples of durations and triggers.

Keep your presentation in view during the session.
The time left can appear next to the icon in the menu bar.

In “Mac Awake” mode, KlikAwake prevents idle system sleep and lets the display turn off according to your macOS settings.
For long tasks, with no need to keep the display on. It does not replace the rules for running with the lid closed.

Choose the apps that should keep your Mac awake. The condition applies while at least one of them is running.
Right-click the icon to choose duration, mode and triggers.
DIRECT ACCESSSee the reason in the menu, follow the time left and get notified of automatic changes.
VISIBLE STATUSWhen you turn it off from the icon, the session ends and active conditions are dismissed until they happen again.
TURNING OFFDurations are 15 or 30 minutes, 1 or 2 hours, or until you turn it off.
Activate by charger, external display or a chosen app. Charger and display depend on the hardware.
Mode, triggers and preferences are saved. You can set KlikAwake to start with your Mac.
“Display On” prevents the display from sleeping when idle. “Mac Awake” prevents idle system sleep and lets the display turn off. Closing the lid and putting your Mac to sleep manually are different situations.
KlikAwake has no closed-lid mode. Do not count on it to replace macOS behavior in that situation.
Clicking the icon ends the session and dismisses triggers that are already active. To activate KlikAwake again, those conditions must stop applying and happen again, such as unplugging and reconnecting the charger. The end of a timed session follows the same rule.
The trigger follows the running app. Closing just a window may leave the app open. KlikAwake does not detect when downloads or exports finish; other active triggers can also keep your Mac awake.
These features do not use screen recording, the microphone or Accessibility control. Notifications need your permission, and starting with your Mac may require approval in Login Items.
The project states macOS 14 or later. KlikAwake will be free; tested compatibility and the download channel will be confirmed before distribution.
They are simplified simulations of the features checked in the code. Animations of a few seconds do not represent the real length of sessions. The behavior of the installed version still needs validation.
Free. Download not available yet.
The distribution channel will be announced on this page.
