Settings
keep the display on, the battery floor, pausing in Low Power Mode, a notification when it ends, what a click does, a weekday schedule, and staying awake while plugged in, on an external display, on a VPN or while downloading.
About
Keeps your Mac awake for a while, until a time, while an app runs, on a weekday schedule, or until you say stop. It lets go when the battery runs low, and the host releases the sleep assertion if the plugin ever stops or crashes, so it can’t leave the Mac awake by accident.
Inside
Everything it does.
Agent tools
