What is caffeinate & disablesleep?

caffeinate & disablesleep replaces two macOS terminal commands: caffeinate -disu and sudo pmset -a disablesleep 1. One click keeps the Mac awake, with an option to stay awake when the lid is closed.

The lid feature asks for an admin password once, then works silently. 2.2 MB download, zero idle CPU, no analytics, MIT licensed. Requires macOS 14 or later. Universal binary for Apple silicon and Intel.
