Keep your Mac awake while your agents work
[ about ]
Perked is a macOS utility designed to keep your Mac awake during long-running tasks, such as AI coding sessions. It automatically detects when applications like Claude Code, Cursor, Aider, Codex, Gemini, or Copilot are running and prevents your Mac from sleeping until the task is completed. This ensures uninterrupted performance for demanding processes.
The application offers several features to enhance usability and efficiency:
-
Power-Aware Settings: Perked can be configured to keep your Mac awake only when connected to AC power or above a specified battery threshold, conserving energy when possible.
-
Clamshell Mode: For users who prefer to close their MacBook's lid during extended tasks, Perked supports lid-closed operation, allowing the Mac to remain active without the display.
-
Timed Sessions: Users can set specific durations for which the Mac should stay awake, providing flexibility for various tasks.
-
Lock & Leave: This feature allows users to lock the screen while keeping the Mac awake, enabling secure, uninterrupted work sessions.
Perked is a native, lightweight application built with SwiftUI, ensuring minimal system resource usage and a seamless user experience. It operates entirely on your Mac without requiring an internet connection or external accounts, prioritizing user privacy and data security.
