Amphetamine is a little app that lives in your menu bar which can effortlessly override your energy saver settings and keep your Mac awake.




Awayke is described as 'I go meeting to meeting with my laptop. Sometimes something's running that I don't want to die, but I also don't want to walk around with my lid half open like an idiot. Lid-close sleep is good design and should stay exactly as it is' and is an app in the ai tools & services category. There are eight alternatives to Awayke for Mac and Homebrew. The best Awayke alternative is Amphetamine, which is free. Other great apps like Awayke are Caffeine for Mac, NeverNap, KeepingYouAwake and Lungo.

Caffeine is a tiny program that puts an icon in the right side of your menu bar. Click it to prevent your Mac from automatically going to sleep, dimming the screen or starting screen savers.

NeverNap prevents your Mac from sleeping or activating the screensaver. For 5 minutes or indefinitely. Perfect for presentations or long processes.

KeepingYouAwake is a small menu bar utility for macOS (Version 10.13 and newer) that can prevent your Mac from entering sleep mode for a predefined duration or as long as it is activated.




It always has been a missing feature: disabling the sleep mode on a Apple Laptop. Who does not want to use it as a big juke-box or go warwalking. The best looking server ever, especially at about one inch height.

Prevent your Mac from falling asleep, dimming your screen or starting the screensaver. Theine keeps macOS awake just like caffeine does with you.




Close the lid. Keep coding. Hold My Lid keeps your Mac awake while Claude Code, Codex, and your other agents finish the job — lid shut, in your bag.
