How it works
01
Click the cup
StayAwake lives in your menu bar as a coffee cup icon. Click it and select Keep Awake to prevent your Mac from sleeping.
02
Set a duration
Choose how long to stay awake -- 15 minutes, 30 minutes, 1 hour, 2 hours, or indefinitely. Change it anytime.
03
Track your time
A live timer shows how long your Mac has been kept awake, with remaining time displayed for timed sessions.
Features
One-click prevention
Toggle sleep prevention from your menu bar with a single click. No windows to manage, no settings to configure.
Flexible durations
15 minutes, 30 minutes, 1 hour, 2 hours, or indefinitely. Pick what works for the task at hand.
No dock icon
Runs quietly in the background. No dock clutter, no window management. Just a small icon in your menu bar.
No data collection
Zero analytics, zero tracking, zero accounts. Everything happens locally on your Mac. We never see a thing.
Availability
Mac App Store
StayAwake is available for free on the Mac App Store. Requires macOS 14.0 (Sonoma) or later.
