KEEP ALIVE – The Ultimate macOS Power Management Utility
KeepAlive is a high-performance, aesthetically driven macOS menu bar application designed to give you absolute control over your Mac’s sleep behavior. Whether you are running long data-processing scripts, maintaining active remote SSH sessions, or rendering large files, KeepAlive ensures your system remains awake and focused until the job is done.
Built natively in Swift with a minimal footprint, it wraps complex system-level power commands in an ultra-premium, intuitive interface. Say goodbye to clunky terminal commands and hello to precision temporal control with customizable timers and an interactive “Status Orb” UI.
Two Modes for Every Scenario
Simple Mode (Idle Prevention)
Designed for everyday tasks, Simple Mode prevents your Mac’s display and system from entering idle sleep by securely invoking the native macOS caffeinate process. It is 100% safe, non-intrusive, and requires no administrator privileges. Perfect for watching long videos or reading without interruptions.
Full Mode (Clamshell Power)
Built for developers who need their Mac to act as an uninterrupted server even when physically closed. Full Mode modifies deep system-level sleep parameters (pmset) to override lid-sleep behavior, ensuring your long-running scripts, downloads, and autonomous AI agents continue to operate flawlessly in the background. Requires administrative privileges for system safety.
