Wake
Keeps your Mac awake
$9 once
Free for 7 days, then US$9 once, from awakeforever.app — it works on any Mac that runs macOS 14 Sonoma or later.
Keep your Mac awake for as long as you choose
Wake is a menu bar app that keeps your Mac from going to sleep. Choose 15 minutes to 8 hours, or leave it on until you turn it off; the menu shows how much time is left.
-
Pick a stretch of time
Choose 15 minutes, 30 minutes, 1, 2, 4 or 8 hours, or keep it on until you switch it off. Option-click the icon to turn Wake on or off without opening the menu.
-
Let the display sleep
Wake can keep the Mac awake while the display sleeps, so your screen goes dark as usual and whatever’s running keeps running.
-
Easy on the battery
When the charge drops below 20%, Wake can turn itself off, and it can open at login so your Mac stays awake from the moment you log in.
-
No permissions, no data
Wake needs no permissions, has no account and collects no analytics. It goes online only to activate your licence and check for updates.
Common questions
Which Macs does Wake work on?
Wake needs macOS 14 Sonoma or later, and it runs on Apple silicon and Intel Macs alike. If your Mac can run a newer version of macOS, the update is free.
Will Wake keep my MacBook awake with the lid closed?
Not on its own. Closing the lid puts a MacBook to sleep unless it’s in clamshell mode with power, an external display and a keyboard attached, and Wake doesn’t change that.
How much does Wake cost?
Wake costs US$9 once, tax included, with every feature and all future updates on up to 3 of your Macs. It’s free for 7 days with no card, and refunds are available within 30 days.
Does Wake need permissions or an account?
No. Wake doesn’t ask for access to anything on your Mac, there’s no account, and it collects no analytics — it goes online only to activate your licence and check for updates.
Can my screen turn off while my Mac stays awake?
Yes. Turn on the setting that lets the display sleep and your screen will go dark as usual while your Mac keeps running behind it.
