Agents Never Sleep Keeps Mac Agents Running
Agents Never Sleep is a macOS menu bar app that keeps AI agents running when a MacBook’s lid is closed. It targets developers tired of leaving laptops half-open during long or unattended agent tasks.
This is a small but practical piece of infrastructure for the local-agent era, turning an awkward macOS power-management workaround into a focused developer utility.
- –Enables unattended agent runs without keeping the laptop physically open
- –Particularly useful for long coding, build, and automation tasks
- –The narrow scope is a strength: one painful workflow, one simple fix
- –Lid-closed operation raises real battery, heat, and safety concerns, so users should run it plugged in with adequate airflow
- –Competes with generic keep-awake tools by speaking directly to AI-agent workflows
