Download. Drag. Stay awake.

  1. 1

    Download the DMG

    Get the latest release directly from the project’s GitHub page.

  2. 2

    Drag it to Applications

    The custom installer keeps setup familiar and the app stays self-contained.

  3. 3

    Open it once

    If macOS warns about the current unsigned build, right-click the app and choose Open.

What’s new in 1.0.4

Small app, carefully shipped.

  • Same 1.0.3 app, plus the custom DMG installer window
  • Fixes Sparkle “Update Error!” (sandbox installer entitlements)

Built to be trustworthy

Native, private, and honest about what macOS allows.

No account. No analytics.

Preferences stay on your Mac. There is no profile, cloud sync, or behavioral tracking.

Native power assertions

KeepMeAwake asks macOS to prevent idle sleep and can still let the display sleep when you choose.

Closed-lid limits respected

It does not bypass macOS thermal and closed-display safeguards or install a privileged kernel extension.
