What it does

Detects your agents

Watches for coding agents that are actually running. Claude Code is on by default. Codex, Aider, Cursor, Gemini and Copilot are one toggle away.

Awake only when it matters

Your Mac stays awake while an agent works, then sleeps like normal when everything's idle. You don't have to remember to turn it off.

Lock and leave

Press ⌥⌘A to lock your Mac instantly and walk away. Your task runs the whole time you're gone.

Keep-display-on timers

Want the screen to stay on for a while? Tap a timer. 10 minutes, an hour, all day. Tap again to change it.

Quiet menu bar app

Lives in your menu bar. No dock icon, no window, no clutter. Just a small bolt that's bold when it's on.

No subscription

One-time $7. No account, no sign-in. Native Mac app, notarized by Apple, opens with a double click.

Frequently asked questions

Does my agent keep running if my screen locks or sleeps?

Yes. Locking the screen or letting the display sleep doesn't stop anything. The only thing that would freeze your agent is the whole Mac going to sleep, and that's exactly what Agent Awake prevents.

Which coding agents does it detect?

Claude Code is on by default. Codex, Aider, Cursor, Gemini and Copilot can each be turned on with one toggle.

Is Agent Awake on the Mac App Store?

No, on purpose. Detecting which agents are running needs system access the App Store sandbox blocks. So it's a direct download, signed and notarized by Apple, and it opens with a normal double click. No scary warnings.

Is it a subscription?

No. It's a one-time purchase of $7. No account, no subscription.

What do I need to run it?

macOS 13 Ventura or later. It runs natively on Apple Silicon and Intel Macs.
